I have spoJcen with tne Attorney General, the President's highest ranking law enforcement official, who continues to stand ready to meet with you on any guestions concerning your handling of the Iran/Contra litigation, including the disposition of classified materials . I hope you will join with the Administration in giving effect to all law, including the statutes established to protect classi-ied information.

THE FOLLOWING INCIDENTS ARE PERSONALLY KNOWN TO A- BRUCE HEMMINGS, A RETIRED GS-14 CIA SENIOR OPERATIONS OFFICER, WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH DISTINCTION IN VIET NAM (1968-69) AND AS A CIA INTELLIGENCE OFFICER FROM 1972 TO 1988. HE WAS DECORATED IN VIET NAM AND WAS AWARDED THE CIA’S PRESTIGIOUS INTELUGENCE COMMENDATION MEDAL IN 1985. MR. HEMMINGS RETIRED IN 1988 AND VOLUNTARILY TESTIFIED ON ILLEGAL CIA ACTIVITIES TO THE SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE AND THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS DURING 1989. m- INCIDENT I - Commercial Espionage within CIA In early April, 1987,^a^rctijyyJj|^^ William J.

Mr. Hemmings had gone to this officer on a personal matter, having worked for this officer in India in the early 1980’s, and in no way solicited the offer. Mr. Hemmings immediately rejected the offer by Mr. M., and later reported it to his Dhrision Branch Chief, Jack, and to the Office of Security Reinvestigation Divmcm and to the Polygraph Division, and in 1989 to the CIA Inspector Genera! and to invest^tors Paul J(^l, John Nelson,* and John Eltif of the Senate Subcommittee on Intelligence.

Mr. L. told Mr. Hemmings on three separate occasions that Mr. Hemmings had no proof, discounted the remarks by Donnelly, regstrding other officers, and said there was no reason to bring it to the attention P epartment of Justice or FBI, although Mr. Hemmings suggested that they could be roug o justice if he and the five other officers were allowed to testify before a grand jury. ^e fomcr telephone nurnber of VARICON, Inc. was (703) 284-7890. That number has een isconnected and given to another firm that may have intelligence proprietaiy connections. ^ e> r r Mr. Hemmings notes that former is collaborating with ct INR in til artmen t of State roun efforts to establish liaison with the KGB, and specifically the pro-Gorbachev ^ — .w««^xahip led by Chairman Valeriy Krychukov and Generals Sherbak and Zvendenkov. Note. In recent years the security link between the CIA and its former officers and other ex-DOD and ex-FBI officers has been blurred to the point where compartmentation, internal securi^, and protection against penetration by foreign intelligence services, via ex-officers or their corporate friends has broken down. Secrets are traded, bought and sold, contracts let, and deals cut^ with foreign governments using proprietary inside information from CIA files. The result is that CIA's legitimate foreign intelligence mission has been subverted by special interest groups and political factions, Mr. Hemmings further notes that a group of ex-officers that includes Theodore G. Shackley, Thomas Clines, Ray Cline, Barker, Saunders, and Mr. M have systematically tried to parlay their close Agency ties into profit for many years. Mr. Shackley’s and Mr. Qines’ ties to the EASTCO scandal, and to the sale of silenced assassination pistols, C-4 eyplnsivi» And p AR-I5_ to Libyan leader Qadhafi come to mind, as well as Shackley's personal involvement with Manushehr Ghorbanifar and Albert Hakim in the Iran-Contra gun-running scandal of the mid-1980’s. The VARICON group also attempted in the mid-1980's to produce and then sell to CIA, as its official "cocktail table" book, an illustrated book on the CIA and its history. Senior CIA management banned the book and its producers from the building in a notice sent to all employees, but this warning was apparently ignored by later CIA managers. Mr. Hcnimings strongly believes that these commercial activities constitute a conflict of interest, a' breach of CIA security, and a ploy to gain access to CIA employees so they could gain unfair commercial advantage and for commercial espionage purposes.

This information was passed to CIA Headquarters, which responded they had no knowledge of any such attack and needed additional information. The Tunisian Government could or would not provide additional information although they stressed the information was very reliable. When PLO Headquarters was later bombed by Israel in 1985, the Tunisian Government was very upset by the death of many Tunisians in the bombing and accused the CIA and the U.S. Government of complicity in the attack. This was denied by the U.S. Government. INCIDENT 4 - CIA Gun Running to Tran eoes back to 1981 Since at least 1981, a worldwide network of "free standing" (e.g. no direct U.S. Government ties) companies, including airlines, aviation and military spare parts suppliers, and trading companies, has been utilized by the CIA and the U.S. Government to illegally ship arms and military spare parts to Iran and to the Contras. These companies were set up with the approval and knowledge of senior CIA officials and other senior U.S. Government officials and staffed primarily by ex*ClA, ex-FBI, and ex-military officers. The companies include Aero Systems, Inc. of Miami, FL; Arrow Air; Aero Systems Pvt. Ltd. of Singapore; Hierax of Hong Kong; Pan Aviation in Miami, FL; Merex in North Carolina; Sur International; St. Lucia Airways; Global International Airways; International Air Tours of Nigeria; Continental Shelf Explorations, Inc., Jupiter, FL; Varicon, Inc.; Dane Aviation Supply, Miami, FL; and others, such as Parvus, Safir, International Trading and Investment Guaranty Carp. Ltd. and Information Security International Inc. Through these mechanisms, staffed by ex-intelligence and military officers, the Administration and the CIA have been able to circumvent and ignore the legal intelligence mechanisms, and Congressional oversight. C-130, F-4, TOWS, and Hawk missile parts were shipped to Iran in violation of the arms embargo and a variety of mechanisms were used, including International Air Tours of Nigeria In August and September, 1985; Arrow Air in November, 1985, and Global International and Pan Aviation and others going back to 1981. A U.S. Customs report dated 20 September 1985 reveals that senior officials lied to Congress about the use of Sur International to ship arms to Iran in August and September 1985, when the carrier actually used was International Air Tours of Nigeria, a free standing CIA proprietary used from 1981 onwards. The aircraft used by Air Tours were B-70Ts and may later have been transferred to the Air Lingus inventory to conceal the fact that they had been used for arms trafficking prior to 1985. I I r W..ST thkv ake not tellino us about ABOUT IRAQ'S irr/AITON John Murphy m April 1981 negotiated a contract between Aero Systems, Inc., a Miami- based aviation supply company; Air Lingus, and Iran (Iran Air and the Ministry of Defense) for shipments from U,S. military bases to Brussels and then Iran (Tehran and/or Bandar Abbas). Shipments began on a regular basis in the Spring of 1981 with Murphy leaving Air Ungus to run the operation from the London offices of Aero Systems, Inc., owned by George Batchelder. Murphy is currently employed by Aero Systems, Inc. in Singapore. CIA involvement and knowledge of the shipments goes back to that period with James C former CIA Air Branch Chief and Air America CEO, playing a major role in organizing the companies and shipments. TOW missiles from the U.S., Israel, and Reforger stocks in West Germany, and possibly from Portugal and Spain were also shipped to Iran, or to Israel to replace Israeli TOWS sent to Iran. The investigation of the December 5, 1985 Arrow Air crash at Gander, Newfoundland, was covered up by CIA, FBI, White House and military officials because the plane was a CIA- owned proprietary that had been used previously to cany arms to Iran and the Contras, and because the plane was carrying arms in violation of FAA and DOD regulations that prohibit hipments on passenger aircraft. The 260 page FBI report and annexes have been classified and the investigation report quashed by order of senior U.S. Government officials. The Canadian Government Aviation Board investigation has also been quashed under pressure from senior U.S. officials. 248 U.S. servicemen are dead, and Islamic Jihad claims credit for bombing the aircraft because the VS* Government reneged on secret promises to make large arms deliveries to Iran. The FBI, from a sensitive source, had conclusive proof in September, 1985, that CIA, Israel, and the White House were illegally shipping arms to Iran using free-standing proprietaries, and later CIA-owned cargo airline proprietaries. The FBI did nothing to investigate or prosecute these violations of law, or to inform the Attorney General or the Congressional oversight committees of its findings. The FBI continued to receive detailed and very accurate intelligence on the arms shipments through the end of 1986, and shared this reporting with CIA. Senior CIA officiab told FBI to suppress this reporting. The FBI also accurately collected information on the McFarland visit to Tehran in May, 1986. Mr. Hemmings was unwitting in 1985 of the extent of the conspiracy to illegally ship arms, and was directed by his.superiors not to pursue this case or encourage the FBI to publish its reporting in community-wide intelligence reports.

CIA when eveiv officer wn« neu *"®’ which was contrary to CIA policy during Watergate, INCroENT 1987, Mr. Hemmings became aware that very senior White an ^ LA officials including DCI William Casey were directing **activc measures'* agamst foreign terrorist groups, including assassination and kidnapping. When these Rhemes were sent to the working level in Near East and South Asia Division and the ouiucrtcrrorist Center of CIA, there was shock and dismay among some officers because t^ey knew the policy was illegal and would invite terrorist reprisals, and because they knew they would be liable for criminal prosecution or other sanctions if they became involved in such an operation. One such operation was planned and then aborted in 1986 after some senior officials and the General Counsel objected to Casey’s directives, as transmitted through Dewey Clarridge, and after a friendly NATO ally withdrew from the operation after gauging the political risk too high. One target of such an operation was the 15 May Arab terrorist group. Mr. Hemmings has teamed after his retirement that Special Operations Command of the Office of International Security Affairs (ISA) in the Department of Defense, under General Vaught, in conjunction with DCI Casey established a special CIA-controlled commando unit within the Department of Defense that would allow CIA to mount such operations outside of close Congressional oversight. This unit, much like Delta Force, had CIA technical and intelligence support, and allegedly conducted operations in the Middle East, particularly Lebanon, in the 1980’s. If true, as it appears, this activity is clearly illegal and outside CIA’s charter. INCIDENT 6 - Placement of CIA and U.S. Government Disinformation in the U.S, Media Mr. Hemmings notes two very blatant instances of the U.S. Government and CIA encouraging or allowing CIA generated news stories to get full play in the U.S. media, a violation of law and an activity which denies the American people their right to a free press and the truth. % ca rded il s 1 r y ed w 8 The first incident occurred in 19«i k Embassy in Rome and offered v,»r« . ® male "walked intn- ,k- irc Muammar Qadhafi to assassinate TrS™ B ' “““'8'"“ about plans ^ Ubyan lea^; blow up key government buildings in wlhin^onf D.c'’ a"'^ “ The crux of this ni 3 n*s ^^rists who had been directeiToi^^ five-man Libyan "hit team" of The man s bona fides were checked hv rra carry out these attacks.

The other tenants in the building on that flfl>or saw nothing, a Belgian businessr and his wife. The other tenants, two aged Jewish people, were absent when the assassination occurred and had not returned as of April 1900. It was commonly speculated that the couple were tied to Mossad and Israeli intelligence, which had put a contract out on Bull when he was discovered peddling his Big Gun and other arms to Ira and other Third World states ninfriendly to Israel. The discovery by British Customs of large quantities of "pipe" for the big gun from Sheffield Steel Works in the UK, probabply acting on an Israeli tip/ confirms suspicions that Bull was deeply involved in the final stages of a major sale to Iraq wjien he was gunned down in Brusools. The news reports of Iraq's efforts to acquire nuclear technology including nuclear weapons triggers that wore again intercepted by US and British customs and intelligence officers also causes alarm. Wlio was facilitating the transfer of Space Research Interna t i onal ' s operations from Vermont to Europe ? Who was involved in the firm's activities in Iraq besides Bull ? The trail leads back to the Enterprise, and the group of Ultra Right profiteers in CIA and the Nixon Administration that originally set up the firm as a free standing proprietary. Missiles and CBW Technology for Iraq In 1987 1988, CIA, the NSC and the White House, and the Department of Defense and State Department all had definite evidence available to them from intelligence sources that Egypt was well on its way to successfully developing an intermediate range ballistic missile based on the Argentine Condor II design and the Soviet Scmd B design . From sources in Argentina, Germany, Egypt, and Switzerland, US intelligence knew that Argentina had concluded a secret agreement with Eavot's Minister of Defense Abu Ghazala to develop an extended range Condor II missile. The missile would have a larger payload, have three stages and would be capable of l^itting any target in Israel or the Arab world as well as southern Europe. The project was funded by Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Some of Iraq's development funding may have come through the It which granted a ^350 rag in the mid 80 's for economic development. JJje nta Ga. (also the location from which many ui uiiti ^rms rxig the Contras .took off from labled as ' medical supplies").

The Reagan Admini stra t ion how^ever did not pursue the State Dept, demarche with any vigor or public disclosures ^ or other up/ to my knowledge. A similar demarche was made to Egypt ^ citing the destabilizing effect this technology has on the Middle East problem, and the U.S. assured the program would be ended. But the reality was that Minister of Defense Abu Ghazala had successfully completed the missile project, and the technology was transferred to Iraq in 1989, with U.S. knowledge but no private or public demarches or disclosures by the White House or State Dept. warfare plant outside Cairo that produced nerve and •Iraq during the Iran Iraq war, probably because the making a major contribution to the Afghan War effort their military port facilities and by providing AK 4 other Soviet weaponry for the Afghan Muhjeddine. ammo (C % I believe CIA had positive chemical weapons plants near Bag press has reported the East Germans for this plant, ^and that thp ni intelligence that Iraq had built using West German technology.

Th( Iraq is the third example? ^ "^cxlear triggers being smuggled to d this My own analysis is that the US and our Nato suppor ed Iraq during the Tran Iraq war, making sure Iraq High quality intelligence on Iranian military posi ions was provided. Even so, the Iraqis almost lost severa ties, with the Iranians almost cutting the vital Baghdad on two ocaasions during their massive late Fall offensives - c of tanks, artillery, and concentrated firepower kept the rom breaking out of the Basra suburbs into the city, and ring the vital highway north to Baghdad. In short, the West either sold the tanks, chemical plants, and missi e technology to Iraq or through intermediaRIES, vying to keep ^raq afloat, ensure the flow of oil, and as opposition to the strong Soviet influence in Iraq, based largely on the oil for arms agreements etv/een the two countries. To not foresee that the v;ar would end, that Saddam s ego and imperial ambitions would not be satisfied, and that he would emerge from the war stronger, heavily armed, and heavily in debt was shortsighted at a minimum. One wonders why then the current and previous administrations could have ignored or countenanced such technology transfer UNLESS they wanted Saddam to become the Bew Nasser, the new Qadhaf i , the- new Shah in the region* The profiteers and those who did not care or understand the stakes looked the other way or actively supported Saddam's ambiytions, Kissinger being a case in point. Defense Secretary Weinberger was another proponent of loaning towards Iraq. The long term effect of that policy has however been to directly threaten Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the whole region with direct military aggression. CIA’s knowledge and assessment of Iraqi long term plans, Saddam Hussein, and the internal mi 1 i tary/intelligence/Ba ' ath Party mechanisms and leadership dynamics was very limited during the 80* s. Our presence in Iraq was very small and limited . In contrast, the CIA and Adminsi tration preoccupation and focus on Iran was almost total, with vastly greater numbers of experienced people, money amd intelligence resources devoted to Iranian affairs- Iran Contra is ample proof. Given what we know today, would 2 or 3 officers been able to handle Iraqi affairs ? No. In summary, there was a political and an inteli igence failure, in foreseeing Saddam’s threat to peace and in predictin? his actions and reactions to pressure over large external debts, decreasing oil revenues, low oil prices, and his desire to be the Arab world’s new strongman. He has grass roots appeal to the Arab masse and is feared and credited with "Baraka” (luck), as a fierce foe of Israel and the U.S. /Israeli alliance, and as a possible new Nasser who could satisfy the dream of Arab unity* Pushed to the limit, he could mount an attack, even if it was suicidal.

Or just the blockade ? ^^^ing created the monster, Saddam Hussein, we must now dr whether to deal with him, or to remove him as a threat to world and US interests. It is a sad note that we flip flop in the space of a few years from friend to foe to friend, back to foe, with Iraq, We saw him use nerve and mustard gas repeatedly against the ^urds, his own pec and the Iranians for 8 years. We saw the War of the Cities, in which Iran and Iraq exchanged missile barrages against innocent civilians. Hopefully cool heads will convince Saddam to release his hostages and rejoin the world community. It may be better than a holacaust that could quickly drag in Jordan and Israel. In the opinion of some, it was a serious mistake to send our troops to Saudi Arabia, and give Saddam the stature and attention he craves, when the same job could have been accomplished quietly. It was a mistake to arm this tyrant to the teeth over the last ten years, and it is probably a mistake to gamble with the lives of all those innocent people and our soldiers. Wouldn*t the price of oil gone up anyway ? Do we have the responsibility to lead a fight that is more a European and Japanese problem ? Or is this the only way the US can maintain its superpower status in the face of European unity, Japanese financial leverage, and the end of the Cold War, so our J_1 •_ f ' f the media look closer and more deeply at what happened, why, and what the short term and long term effects might be and to accept that Viet Nam, Iran Contra, and Lebanon should have taiught us somethinq about the overuse of force and intervention. Will historians write^that the invasion of Kuwait was the second Gulf of Tonkin, or will histo support the rhetoric and the patriotic expressions we now hear and on the nightly* news. My personal feeling Is that we, the American public, are being conned or at least not told the truth about how w got there, why we are there, and what could happen if war erupts or^ are just stuck there for the next 2 3 years.

Reports that showed the resale of arms by the Mujheddine to third parties like the Iranian Baluchis, or drug trafficking were suppressed lest they adversel^'^fe^e bipartisan war support in Congress.

I do not see Iranian involvement in this per se because the Iranian* executed most of the drug traffickers during the period 80 to 85, including addicts. I cannot comment on the direct involvement of Zukor and Karcharchi in drug trafficking, but I am aware of their involvement with the Enterprise, North, Kopf # and a senior ex CIA officer in money launderii and arms trafficking related to Iran and the Contras, sometimes via Israel. The shipment of Israeli Uszis and ammo and the presence of ex Israeli intelligence personnel in Colombia assisting the Medellin Cartel is front page news. I learned of it from the press. What is distiTtibing is that senior Israeli and US officials and the British could be aware of this, and not do anything to stop it, and appear to have facilitated it to some extent After leaving CIA, I learned from official and non official sources that William Hull, a rancher in Costa Rica, had been an Agency/ Enterprise source, that he had been indicted in that country for murder and attempted murder of Eden Pastora, along with Joseph Fernandez, and that he had left Costa Rica and was living in Indiana, facing a possible criminal indictment on charges of misuse of a $500,000 AID agricultural loan to build a Contra training camp and air strip on his property.

Baker died while in V command of 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group. Col. Baker did live long enough to see Edwin Wilson arrested for trafficking arms to Libya. in The L iby an situation has two sides to it. * First Wilson claimed top CIA officials approached him to go to Libya under the ’guise* of trafficking arms, while in actuality gathering intelligence. In this situation (active duty) special forces at Fort Bragg were approached by Wilson to go to Libya to train troops. The Special Forces verified the fact that Wilson was with the CIA and went along. **The second side was the prosecutions theory of the events at Wilson’s trial*. The prosecution contended that Wilson didn't work for the CIA and duped the Special Forces personnel into helping him. Wilson was convicted and is currently in the^ Federal Prison at Marion, Illinois, as I sure you are aware. V(iVsov\ oux oY KPl VH CQi>\[VKU^clcc\^ One of the CIA officials Wilson claims was involved in the Libyan situation Clines . Thomas Clines is named in Col.

Large sums of money Involved either relating to arms or to drug trafficking. Suppose Wilson, Clines and Terpil were each separately involved in Op eration Watch Tower, as Col, Cutolo's affidavit sets out. Wilson would not have hesitated to go to Libya for Clines, if Wilson thought it was sanctioned by the company. At the same time, if Clines was trying to erase all ties to Operation Watch Tower and Wilson, there would never have been a better opportunity f or^ Clines to rid himself of the connection than by sending Wilson on an unsanctioned mission to Libya. It's also interesting to note that Frank Terp il, who played a minor role in Operation Watch Tower and who was involved in the Libyan situation , is still, at large , but sought by the U.S. authorities . It's possible that Terpil helpe d Clines set up Wilson * ■j Tv^-s (AvKtoriit^c *W11: ^ a million ei^/S^L'^k excess of WilsOR amount of money It presents a substantial motive for Clines to set Wilson up , aside from the motive of keeping Operation Watch Tower a secret. So the story of Edwin Wilson was reviewed by us. #^We were left with doubts as to his guilt We had no doubt as to the guilt of Thomas Cline s , who we suspect was the master mind behind Operation Watch Tower. After Col. Baker die d , Col. Rowe and I located Hugh B. Pea rce , named in Col. Cutolos affidavit . Pearce was then assigned to the Air National Guard in Wilmington, .Delaware.

It is interesting to note, that, although authorities in the Philippines arrested a person with communist ties and beliefs and charged him with the murder of Col. Rowe, Michael Harar , ! was in the Philippines for thre e. just prior to and after Col. Rowers murder. Coincidence ? It is my unsubs tan cia tied belief that Earari murdered Col. Rowe or arranged it.

Based on that possibility Intense surveillauice was undertaj^h by my office to ensure that if Watch Tower became knowi of, the United States government and the Army would have advance warning and could Prepare a inform Colonel Forrest Kittvi^M n.

The reason for this oi.ie, , I was told, IS that in the event Fort Devens personnel eit' caught in the act of implementing the surveillance, Colonel Rittprs will have a margin of plausible deniabilitv on wluoU he may be able to dovmplay and defend against inquiries.

At that point I knew the threats were taking place^ but had not ascertained from whence they originated . 30. At approximately 0945 hours on 30 January 1979 Pvt.

January-February 1978 entries. ”I’ve been running around with Heidi Urban. We go all over together when I don’t have duty. Oh yeah. Diary, Pat Imbu left in mid- January .” 61. From reading the entries on Heidi Urban the main fact that appears obvious is that Elaine Tyree is then at Fort Lee, Virginia. That Pvt. William Tyree is not present as he is on Fort Devens, Massachusetts, Other than Elaine and Heidi, no one, specifically not Pvt. Tyree or myself could know that Elaine and Heidi are 'running around together' at that time, unless these facts are represented in the diaries maintained by Elaine Tyree in her own hand writing. Elaine Tyree was assigned to Company C, 1st Battalion, Quartermaster School. 62- November 1978 entry: **Dear Diary, my brother _Steven who has been stationed in England for over a year, coming home on the 20th for good.** I r r. t I / t 53 .

It is probable that they influenced the time at which the hostages would be released in exchange for a promise by Reagan-Bush to deliver to them several billion dollars of arms purchased by Iran under the Shah and at the time frozen in the United States. but not proven, that Bush or one of his family was last full week of October 1980 for one of these meetings. It is highly unlikely that Bush himself was in Paris as the police would have been alerted to provide security for a Vice Presidential candidate, thus destroying the absolute necessity for secrecy essential to such a meeting. 3, It is possible, in Paris during the It is possible that the Paris nieeting(s) were a follow up to a \BH082988.NTS Honegger, August 1988, From discussions Washington D.C. of Dick Brenneke with Barbara 25,1989 1 meeting held In late September or early October, 1980 in Washington. D.C. gUESTIOR;. What is the connection between the two meetings? 5. It is probable that Secretary of State Haig, in 1981, authorized both U.S. and Israeli weapons deliveries to Iran. HAWK missile systems and upgrade electronic boards were shipped to Iran from 1979 onwards. It is possible that at some time this may have lowered U.S. stores to a dangerous level. ^ 7* There is speculation, but no proof, that Reagan actually inscribed the bible for transfer to Kohmeni at a meeting on October 3, 1980, not October 3, 1986 and that this was given to Kohmeni ’s representatives when they met with the Reagan-Bush people at the L' Enfant Hotel in Washington , D . C . , 8. It is probable that Casey used Gorbanifar, Hashemi and Hakim in the 1986 transactions, despite Gorbanifar *s repeatedly failing C.I.A. polygraph tests, because of his relationship with them in 1980 during negotiations for the release of the Embassy Hostages. 2. Glen McDuffv of Westlnghouse In Huntsville , which manufactures the boards , has charged that HAWK missile upgrade boards MPrp hft-ino diverted to Iran in 1979 when they should have been going to MI COM . Clearly McDuffv can document early 1980 arms sales to Iran insofar as the se sales pertain to HAW K missiles and parts. Coupled wit h th e 1985 sale of 13 s h ipping pallets of_ HAWK__spare parts to Iran, there have been allegations that the stores necessary fo r military preparedness were seriously d epleted. In a February 1987 report on the sale of Army missiles to Iran, t;he Army’s inspecto^ _ oeneral that the sale of 46 of the 148 dlf fer ent_ tYpes of HAWK fadar spare parts Iran requeste d "might affept U,S. force g* readiness . " 2 Dick n EARLY ARMS SAT.KS T T J 9. It is probable, as Bani-Sadr^ alleges, that In the 1980 Embassy Hostage release negotiations, there were two channels through which negotiations took place: one between Carter, who initiated contact ith Iran through official diplomatic channels after the embassy g were taken, and Bani-Sadr; the second was between Kohmeni and Carter off the record, is probable, as Bant*Sadr alleges, that when Kohmeni could not reach agreement with Carter himself regarding arms deliveries in change for the release of the Embassy hostages, he turned to the Reagan- Bush camp.

Borm ,^ Warren Christopher, Carter’s emissary, met with Bani-Sadr’s representative to discuss the possibility of releasing some of the Iranian arms as part of a settlement to the hostage situation. Later, reported that Christopher met with Khomeini’s representative Tabatabai^ , 198Q Sept/Oct L* Enfant Plaza Hotel. Robert McFarlane, then an aide to Senator John Tower of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Richard Allen and Laurence Silberman, then on the Reagan-Bush campaign staff, met with an unnamed Iranian emissary and Lavi who offered to release the hostages to Reagan* Bush.

Bani-Sadr says he was told, by Iranian militarv intelligence, that the second meeting involved Beheshti himself, not one of his aides , QUESTION : Did Cave always wear a flower in his lapel? If he did not, who on the Kiddle East Desk at the Agency did? One person at the meeting did wear a flower in his lapel. At this time Don Gregg was on Carter’s NSC staff, although not in a major policy role. 1980 October - Bani-Sadr reports that $12 million out of $56 million was placed in a Swiss bank account for Beheshti during October 1980. 1980 October 22. Begin sent the U.S. a message saying that Israel had sent one plane load, probably of F-4 tires and similar materiel, to Iran and asked if the United States had any objections.

I can't remember when Bonnie Sauter dropped out but at any rate, Bonnie Sauter is saying that yes, I have contemporaneous documentation that establishes that these meetings took place. And, as I understand it, may have furnished some of that documentation to Barbara Honnecker. Or, at least, illuded to it in a letter he wrote to Barbara . D: as I recall, you were there to primarily your job following^ t hese meetin gs was to arrange for the laundering of the mone y . R: correct. D: and, this may be a premature leap, but' let me ask you. Would it be premature now to suppose that byLgoing to one of those spec ific activities involvin g, ^mu told Jte generally Luxenborg and some of the people who were involved l^leesf?*) was the name I recall . That we start building one of those case studies that I talked about to show how you did it. Seems to me by doing that, and I can get you a transcript if you want it, but by doing that you will have for your case a way of demonstrating how you were given this assignment at the meeting, and preceded to do it. Now, that seems me to argue pretty persuasively that you had some official role. That vou were doing this R: seems to, yeah. D: you're lawyer puts you on the stand and says what did you d o for the CIA and that vou can develop in some complex wav what this money laundering entailed the jury might sit up and listen to that. This is self serving for me in a way, because I want to understand it but I think it is something that you can use (end of side # 1) (beginning of side # 2) R: you're right it certainly is a little self serving but it does come back to D: I meant self serving for me, because I want to understand it, but also I think it's of use to you to describe specifically ’ — w this happened R: sure, and one of things and one of the key places to star this whole thing, I think, and if you look at what happened as a result of that, of the meeting. One, arms were shipped. Let's go back a second and take things in order. Look at the consequences of the meeting. Arms were bought. Two, arms were shipped. And, three the hostages were released. And, four, an ongoing relationship was established with Iran by a lot of people. Now, to help you understand your role, or your interest seems to lie, correct me if I'm wrong, seems to lie in Central America and not in Europe. D: that's right. R: in that regard you and I are off on separate . . D: except for the fact that Europe and Iran lead to Central America . As I recall Demovand was literally picked up and moved to Central America and to under s tand the full and overall Q __ w h e n we . go . to c ourt t o tel l gu r s tory w e've got to go back to 1980. we've got to address I ran. Yes . the inciden t, the criminal act tha t w^' r e_ c ourt on t his happ e n ed_ in Nic a raqua . R: let's assume that it didn't happen in a vacuum. I think to understand this you have to... let's talk about something that I know something about D: let me just say one thing that I don't mind if the case study you use is with shipments of arms to Iran. I want to talk tomorrow more specifically about Central America. R : let's talk about one that effects both . Let's start with a company called IFMA. Because . it is central to . I don't know if it 's centra l . but it is certainly imp o rtant in Central Ameri ca. It^g important tOi.i# and it's . important in Iran . it's ^ role that overlaps all these activities because it was house for funds and it 's something that I had a demonstrable ^ relationship with. I can stand up and h old the stock certi fica tes in my hand and say here you are guys stand up the meeting minutes in my hands and say here we__are, we set this sucker up in 1970 and here it is. Here's D icl^Brenn^e na me all over the g od damn thing . Demonstrably I had a role in that. D: would you say you were a major stock holder? R: I own 49% of the shares. D: I would say that that's pretty major. Who owned the 51% >> nrr. R: at one point in time 49^% were owne^ j y/ pav D: that's the way it was set up and that changed later I gather. Rt it changed later but that was the original. Originally it was owned by the secretaries of the Panamian Officials who set it up and that was later transferred to the secretary of a u.s. lawyer who help the Panamanian's set it up and that was all of what they transferred to me, right in hand to Alfred.

R: no, I lived here, in Portland. Traveled a lot. And, basically what we did and in this case was IFMA already had, a relationship with the Swiss Banks so that wasn't a big deal • We didn't have to establish that from scratch. In fact, originally set it up through Bank Hoffman ( ? ) D: that's how Her pert got involved? R: yeah, that's one of the ways that's one of the ways that he got involved. D: R: D: the director of it? R: one of. So we, I guess that was what brought us into Switzerland and (interruption) The use that was put for it was we had Bank Hoffman.

Now I just was to Rico and I didn't realize that that was of any interest to him. He got all hyper about that one. D: about?

I've read about that, he's the one that's related to itk 1 a ( ”? ) U; yeah, she's Ekla's cousin, uncle, aunt, niece, something like that . D: I've read that. I want to talk about, this sounds like a very interesting transaction. Are we leaping ahead a little bit? U: yeah, we are. It would have to be one that Rico brought up and it seemed reasonable at the time. D; absolutely. It was the sale of F4's.

R: yea l^ and they were the remains of what had been stationed in Ethiopia and then we sold them or the U.S. had sold ^ Ethiopia under some god forsaken plan. Basically nobody wantea them, they were junk heaps and they really didn't even have a value as scrap, I think scrap was probably their highest and best use. In real terms, they were not flyable, you could cannibalize them for parts, I suppose and they did. Salashur was ]ust frie when they bought them , because he had not seen them this. He was conned royally on this deal and we really _ guy. Well I'll tell you the next one, he everything up front and he was really uptight about the whole thing - D: it's a wonder that he wasn't shot.

D; should we go back to that now? R; probably should yeah. Tradeco just happens to be one of the places where there is a tie between Europe and Central America. D: it sounds like an extremely interesting operation. R: V?hat I started to say here before we got off of the Daily “telegraph Article. Everybody ' s overlooked , or all most everybody , r think has overlooked British side of what happened in 1^80 ana what happened with f 198Q because a lot of activity and financing nated through for Central American Iranian projects . D: I understood the last time we talked that that was being don through the station there in a small way* But it also is using the British themselves? R: yeah, there was a British subject for instance or at least he passed himself off as a British subject named Michael Papernick, also known as Lord Wydomdham(?) to his friends and associates. I listened to this pompous little ass hole sugest that 1 should call him Lord Wandom(?) and it was easier to write Lord W in my notes which I frequently did D: what did he do? R: Michael was a financing type, Michael raised money for himself and for a lot of other people- Ite had a relationslilp with a trust called Farnham Ottkar Trust located in the Gurnsey Islands off England. And, because of the secrecy laws, in any case it is mfi offshut of one of the Hapsberg Trusts that was created many years ago when Austria went down and the Hapsburgs were unceremoniously dumped. And, his father, he and his father were trustees for the Hapsberg settlement of 1552 or some such thing, I don't know, an old sucker. At any rate, they were real and he was a real person and he did succeed In rax^ina a money vi things Phoney .yas used hy Tradeog^ amoungat- r**^ round in t no one has found him? R: no. And, one of the more hysterical moments of the whole last ten or fifteen years we were dealing with a Swiss indiyidual who represented a couple of banks in Lucerne and we weren't getting yery far. We werent' getting yery far, Michael and I wanted a couple of things done and we wanted to set up an account there to swap some funds through. And, we really weren't getting very far with this little idiot. He was being difficult so finally Papernick took his CIA credentials. i had never even seen the damn things before and dropped them on this guys desk and says does this god damn well convince you that you ought to do it my way. D: there is a CIA crediential? R: yeah, there are actually cards that say I work for the CIA. D: so Michael Papernick was an actual... I understand that Michael Papernick was in fact an I can even introduce you to this poor Swiss individual who got nailed that day. God that was funny. i am told there has never been a British subject bv the name of ^ 'V'' Michael P apernick. ■d® Nor has there ever And l have that on extremely good authority , been a British Subject with the title Lord Wydomdham . D: this guy who you knew, with whom acquainted doesn't exsist in those names, knew about? you were fairly well in the names that you R: Well I had a fellow who's very interested in for a lot of reaasons look for him. And it turned out quite by accident that it's a fellow that I know and I didn't know he was even looking for him. He may have mentioned it 2 or 3 years ago but it didn't really mean anything to me at the time. He called me back about a week ago on another subject and we got on to Papernick, and he said do you have anything else for the guy, he says thers no British Subject there has never been a British Subject by the name of Michael Papernick, especially, particularily in the U.K. or in Ireland, from whence the title is supposed to have derived. D: from Ireland? R: from Ireland. D ; Lord Wydomdham? / 1 -^ R: Lord Wymondharo. This quv savs oh v. tor Mr,. At any rate he Vver 'lou?d hl^ bhhh looking all over Papernick's passport number.

I said I was going to start it. Who ultimately round up with it I don't know. I'm surprised I didn't know that Blandon was in the witness protection program. That's going to make life a little harder. I think it's Bob Perry your'e going to have to ask about that because he had at one time talked about it. D: that fellow that used to work with Perry, R: Brian 5^ this... but Barger told me in much more detail that Blandon is not to be trusted witness. I was taken aback by that, I don't know where Barger got it. R: it's an odd statement. R: I've got some bad news for Brian. D: It ain't made up? R: It ain't made up. It was made up certainly but it was not made up by Oscar Blandon. D: there was an operation D: I met Barger for the first time, I can also told you that Barger's sources are based on the fact that his late father worked for the State Department and was a very good friend of Donald Gregg's.

I know he did some real good work with Bob Perry. D* he ^ s good. But, being a young idealist and we are except not so young anymore, but I like to think of myself as an idealist. We sometimes get carryed away. His story about Blandon had to do with the fact that when Vickey Monks and that guy from the Road for Peace, Howard Cohen wrote that piece in Rolling Stone. That ^ s where they got the name Black Eagle, and I don^t know if Baroer said if they made it up or Blandon made it up. It was an Srt of the same ...

Over a million dollars he said. R: 1 don's remember a million dollars. 0: .ind then the case was dropped in January of 1989. The only question that just came up was, was this a CIA sanctioned operation? I thought not but now theres some doubt about it. R: there seems to be some question, theres certainly some questions In my mind about it. I): because of Carbon Uar? R: well, partly because of Garbonifar, although North bailed I 'S y i Carbon itrti out rh with nlUo':; km^wloa^^o ot assistance unless they did it wholo raiu' w.n; in that nart ®ut , what happened in that 1 i 1 '. . i program, I think, is people Ilk© ...MM tvans saw hvs client Kashogi making millions and millionr. t)t liars tn the arms business. And he was Kashogi 's personal attoi ney tv'i' years, I think still is. Decided he wanted to mi'jKo somti money himself. So, got himself involved in the whole thing. The agency is not about to turn off anybody at that point. Tl\e i r more than willing to have some help. And certainly such d i : ;p I aoed he I p .

R to the Iranians to build up a relationship there D; who did you point this out to in New York? R; I pointed it mit more in the Military' and Doug Manarchec. to a number of people at the CIA and And, ultimately to people like Don even D; you saivl ptu>ple in New York R. no \ meant to say people back east, in Washington. It didn't seom to go anywhere. In any case, what happened was in my oDinion custo»erw-,te b u t r ^etherization.

Rico Garish, reporter for (V), lives in Pennsylvania Philadelphia somewhere. He wanted to know something he found my name all over some Swiss papers, HwJsm government papers, that are going on with the ingulros with the justice minister and so forth in Switzerland and the Bwirm are a little less than impressed by the fact that their country was used as a way to launder a lot of money, Rico called roe in a state of panic, you want to know something about mutual funds, and I've told hia a little bit about then, he went over to Zurich, he's a Swiss national, went back to Zurich and started digging around, found ft f - ■ *, ' ' d-'..; . j f f-t 4 -S j *-r - s. 1. V; ■fHi ■y nane all over a bunch of papers as i told him he would. D: Rico last name? R: Garish D: and this is from the R: Magazine, Sonnsthelick( ?) it's a semi tabloid, guite a few steps up from what we think of as a tabloid in the United States D; the scandal in Switzerland involves a relative of Icle in the US. It's one of those things I stick in the corner of my desk because I don't understand it. R: at any rate poor Rico called me back from Switzerland after he had done some work, and he says can you describe Albert Hurbert for me, and I said sure, I can't describe him now I haven't seen him for years but I can tell you his background and who he is and what he was. And he says 1 think I've got a problem, and I say what's your problem, he's my business editor. He says I don't know how I'm going to publish this stuff.... Rico spent a month in Switzerland and he's know on the way out to the west coast and expect that I'll see him later this week early next week, poor Rico I felt sorry for him, he's just a young fellow and a very enthusiastic journalist and I think a pretty good one it just dawned on him that that name was real familietr. When I gave him the background on Alpert P. Herpert he savs , oh mv aod . that ' s my boss . I guess he found a way aroiind it, and I don't even want to know what it was. So Herpert is alive euid well in Zurich. ok in the course of this agency says — well l don't know it's kind of a mutual decision — we decided to set up IMFA as a management company, and this is were we confuse the issue. D: you had had your own company before D'Onofrio showed up? R: Financiers Intemati Services was the ori which I set UP D: in all this? R: International UP until we s I t was either _a or what I can^ m m D: bac]e in the days with Pollack you had done work but they are still around is this Kerrit who comes up again? R: well I've forgotten it was either Kerrit, Ellis of , there was a guy named Dorn that turned out 1 a ter Dorn one was Rupp's 9 t^orit rol Lm' , Harry Rupp's controller. I): who t o was Dorn? K: Dorn was agency in Minot. D: first name? Ellis he's in Europe? R: I don't know. Ellis is in Europe. Straight agency types, they wander around with their credentials in their pockets. D: but all you've done with the agency up to this point is work with them in your business? K: yeah, we ran some money for them, they wanted to know could I do it . you weren't a contract agent were you? K: yeah, I got paid for it, sure. D; did you sign a contract? K: no, there were no contracts. I never signed. I take that back I did sign one piece of paper that had a secrecy agreement on it, but the contracts were strictly verbal agreements D: that's the way they keep it off the books? R: oh yeah I made that clear 1 didn't want to go on the books with the agency. 1 made that clear the last thing I wanted was my name floating around Langley. I didn't need that D: It is enabling them know to maintain this position that you didn't work for them. R: you are deniable and this is one of the arguments that I have with Kerry's conclusions, Kerry says we should prosecute people who claim to be CIA agents that weren't that's all well and good except the agency maintains the right to deny that you ever worked there, and you have no access to the record to prove otherwise . D; Kerry didn't want to prosecute you but he did come out and say that he didn't use your valuad>le testimony because somebody on his staff made the decision that you were too deniable which to me sounds like a lot of shit R: Jack Blum was one of the partakers in that decision Jack sat there and told me one day, I Joiow the agency is lying to me about you. I know it, I can prove it, there's no guestion about it and I can't get past the lies. 10 D: so he^s going to put it in the credible . you are not a : I said is there anything you can do to help me beyond what I've done. Jack. No. The agency is in a wonderful position they could deny that you were ever there they can yell that the is out of file, that they can't find work under different names and numbers, and you run Richard J. Brenneke, and all you've got is an application form and that's it.

I could look up the exact date. D: what relative to the subject at hand that we are going to to and carrying yourself into the 80 's and the arms , the agency activities and the network, we know it's coming , what in the early period, of J ema . le pertinent j|t_tM.& 7 R: I think the laundi -Eart.JiS . that it another and wash jj^n the meantime . set UP to D R D %rtio's money? when does Corson come in? Corson comes in , i-t. remember the year. T a I've done this with Rebecca Sims, trying toT go back on when I meet him, and the only reason that 1 can even, in fact I didn't even remember it was Corson. I couldn't ,,,,, the guy's name originally, so all I did with her was describe where I met him. ^lnd that I could remember and she says oh my god that's the old building were we used to have our offices and 1 described it to a tee for her. That was when it all came back of course, that was Corson 6uid that was Misher. All the names fall back into place D: and that was in the 70 's? That's why I bring it up now. R: somewhere in the 70 's he proceeds to j\imp into the picture, irtiat we do I guess, as time goes by, this Jose Blandon is apparently aware of it. l think one of the congressional investigators, or Kerry or somebody has extracted a comment f' Blandon saying, yes, I was aware of IFHA. And in the 80's, 7 and 80's, it was used for a variety of financial activit and some of the boys down there, and indeed it did an was interested in Blandon. I knew he'd know about it, but I Interested to hear him comment on it, and I think he kept comments pretty vague. Well, yes it was there and soBie people used it and yes some people used it, to launder money with and to take fin^ulcial payments with and so forth and so on. He kept it pretty general, which was fine with me. , but that was ( it all be of the sv^e: ^s basically wfaer-e D: when You had point you the narration of back here, but you use long betore 1980. this account do we got back into it, called Insest Computer 13 * * r V# ■^1 ■R' R: somewhere around 75-76 I got a phone mine, an acquaintance of mine, who had had participated in building some of the so forth, and he wasn't living in Israel about the time he that he was moving to call from a friend an IBM engineer early IBM computers at that time. It he was Israeli. of and and D: he was Israeli? what was his name? R: an American citizen but he was Hebrew, Jewish in any case I get a call from him, and basically it was a pr^gr^ ^M T^^ contract ^g^Jgas working for MossadT ” . but they had managed to peddle some hardware down south, in Guatemala, Costa Rica Guatemala didn't take it. They had the old machines, j went in and serviced one of the Drocrrams izally lnces£ ^ - a combinatio n of hardware, software system . and back in the old days v^ere your computers wKere pretty much single function oriented, not like today. And so this was designed to track people ^ data sy stem , m d it wa s designed to tradfc but TCODle ^vements where logged into it, things like tfiati T put Tt D the purpose of Mossad? They owned the o o- ^ R: well actuall machinery , they owned the programing and everything else. I just down there as a technician to put the programing together and make sure worked, and do some instruction on how you it and what it would do and what it wouldn't do and refine bugs out of it. D; what was the Hossads interest in doing it? R: track, got real interested in who was doing what in Central and South America. If you remember this Is about €Ke time when there was a real strong push on by Israeli aircraft industries to start selling do%m there. Central America opening major markets for the Israeli's and not only computer equipment, but for military equipment and the Israeli's were always looking for a place to sell the military equipment. D: now this is before any U.S. R: oh yeah this is middle 70 's, but not to be outdone, the agency said, well if they want it, we must have it. It's got to be good for something. In mv opinion all it was _good for wag insulation in vour wall , so I bugged one of iQie Israeli compute r r and ...... (end of side TT) 14 mknt Policy l) : ViiUL (iHuiinninq of side # 2) l't .., . . Vas Costs.. and x bugged one of tlie machine s 4:^^, Basically all I had to 3o was IclcK out* Any pri^rainmer that ' s ever done any work builds himself a little trap door in the system that no body else knows except him* You don't qo around telling anybody how you did it, you just do it because you may need access to that program some day . The guy that ' s got all the code words is sick or dead or not available, and you've got to do some work on this stupid machine so you go open your trap door so that you can get back into the system and generally you never use it. I still do it the programing that I do even for clients today who are sure that they've got a secure program, it is except for me. I don't use it but i don't need it in most cases, but what I did there is slip a transmitter in. I think it was Northrop who final caught me at it* i): Will Northrop caught you at it? K: well he caught the bug, what happened — and I told him this tiPl* thing, and if he was a good computer tech, he'd wonder what that piece of equipment was for, depending on how far back in the boards and all the rest of the wiring.

D: we can talk about that later, alright so 1.980? R: In 80 I went over and sat through a meeting and was a little disappointed with the results, came home. D: what was dissapointing about the results? R; well I was under the impression that we were going to do something that would produce a fairly immediate release ot the hostages. It turned out we were indeed going to do something to help release the hostages, but it wouldn't be an immediato release, and I found that disapointing. D: but you knew why, right? R: no I didn't, I can't say I did at the time, I can make some fairly educated guesses as to why, but nobody actually said why. D: no one actually said it was due to the election ? who did you see at that meeting? you did'nt see Bush? R: no, the_jngetinq I was at, Gregg and Casny both r.nmt=, re gresenting the _^igsjj.g; ans.. D; this is at the Rafael? R; no this is at the Florida, which is the only meeting that I was present at. I don't know where it fits into the series. D: one of the meetings, and Gregg and Casey were both there? R: the general consensis seems to have been that there were five meetings at or about this time in Paris, and some of them help, anyway Gregg and Casey are there, Cyrus Hashemi is there, a couple Israelis that I can't name were there. D: you know them but you can't name them? R: yeah, I know them, but I just can't name them, I don't think they're relavent to this situation. Ghorbanifar was there, Lavi I think was there, I'm not sure. During the course of oh maybe 3, 3 1/2 hours there were probably 12 or 13 people during that period of time, some of them stayed for a short time some stayed longer, and Madame Rober was there Robert Benes was there 18 D: Madame Rober is french intelligence? R: French intelligence, Benes was there D: Bernard was there? R; yeah Bernard was there, but he didn^t stay the whole time. D; did you know who Casey was? R: yeah, I knew who he was. I had seen his picture in the paper. D: Campaign manager for Republican candidates at the meeting must have given you, your a hardened realist about this stuff but still R; what gave me the pause for thought was the interesting combination of Gregg and Casey. Gregg to my understanding at that time working for Jimmy Carter, and Casey being an opponent of Carter's, and the first thing I thought when I opened the door was well, son of a bitch, you are a survivor. It was a no lose situation for Don Gregg. D: that's a scene in a movie where they kind of fade up to his face, and there is the traitor on the other side R: he couldn't lose with that one. If something came of it, he's a hero with the Reagan camp; if nothing comes of it he tells his boss and says I tried to help you, out and nothing came of it, but .... D: how well did you know Gregg? R; I had met Gregg I think two times prior to that, I think in Southeast Asia, and it was more of a meeting in passing, hi this is Don Gregg. I knew who Don Gregg was, he was a big wheel in Southeast Asia and so forth and so on. D: big wheel in the agency? . yea , and there he was . it was not a formal meeting in where we all sat down around a table and kind of hammered things out. informal groups and Casey being in the center of a fair amount of the discussion, and occasionaly I would have to traslate to Robert who's english is poor. Robert had a stroke some years back, he used to speak 6 languages fluently, grew up and spolce most middle eastern languages. D: Robert Benes? He's the son of Edward Benes R : yeah . 19 world war II president(?) R; Robert is an interesting guy all by him self. In any case he had trouble with english, and colloquialisms really throw him. And my french is not real good, but I can translate it enough and we knew each other well enough so that I could translate it enough to be able to get the message through to him. Madame did not, would not speak english, she spoke only french although understood a fair amount of english. She always said, I don't understand, and I said well I know you do, and you know from time to time I'd have to come up with a translation for her.

There was some support for a change in the government.

D: and that's were you did most of your work or all of your work at that time? R: basically that's what I'm doing all my work for. D: and you were based in Panama? R; yeah, in general yes. D: is it then time to ask you about what you know about Harare and Noriega and that part of the ? R: yeah, because Harare becomes a factor in here, oh 84 D: ok we are, I asked you about Herrari network, Herrari Noriega, Medellin. Noriega takes over there in 82 I believe. R: some esoteric political talk here for whoever is typing! 1 !! (exoteric content not pertenant to this, so I deleted it) Central America, like you say, is kind of a mass of threads game. I wasn't doing business with him. of the world a couple of times , and i got •J i -*• - and you start pulling at one, it's kind of tough to follow it all the way thru to the end. Noriega, it's about 82 I guess when he becomes a factor in that. I got to thinking back on it, and I'm sure I met Noriega at at least one function in Panama in 70 when he was a young army officer coming up through the ranks because we used to court those guys. Every time we needed something done, you'd have to buy off someone else down there. We always used to court the up - and - coming young officers in the army, and we spent a lot of time and money on that one. D: old pinapple face. R: I remember him from the good old days. Alright, you get into guys like Mike Harare, Harare was sent to Panama primarily toa look after the Israeli interest, and he was supposed to be one of the watchdogs. His job was to be sure that the weapons that Israeli sent were going to the right place, that Isreal was getting properly paid for its investment that the Israeli name was not being dragged through the mud. Israel knew that if all turned to hell, they were going to get stiffed by the U.S., the U.S. would drop it all in the Israelis lap. D: when do you first encounter Harare? R: 83 -84 D: so by that time, as far as you know, he was working as chief of security for Noriega but was still working for Mossad? R: he was supposed to be working for Mossad. I mean that was theoretically his job, and the problem with Harare was that he fell in love with the good life over there real fast, and the result was that he became Noriega's business partner instead of his overseer. In my opinion he did very little to protect Israeli interests in Panama. He did a hell of a lot to protect his own interest and spent a lot of time as Noriega's sidekick and partner and spent no time as his overseer. D; can you describe their business? R: yeah, their business basically was in part. Drug activities. Noriega was by all odds one of the great drug traffickers in the Central American area. Most of those flights, at least the ones sent to the Texas, California area, used Panama's refueling stop, because it was safe and of course Noriega got his cut out of all that. Harare, in addition to using the product himself, i suspect — I've never proved that, but that was always my supposition that he was a user as well as a seller — wound up as literally as one of the bad guys. He was doing business with Medellin, he was one of the people who strongly insisted, if you were going to work in the area you go down and introduce yourself to the folks in the cartel so that they know who you are so that ^ 42 J \ w s' 4 you're not a liability as far were'nt some DEA agent undercover he had you do that? as they were concerned. You R: yeah, at his request. Ben-or was as bad as he was on that one because a new face in the region, especially a new face in the^ piloting area, was always suspect, because almost all the flights involved drugs to one extent or another. This is where I have a hard time with my own concience. I could rationalize a lot of it in terms of trafficking between Panama and Colombia, Panama and Bolivia. If they want to kill each other off with drugs, that's their problem not mine, if you haul drugs between one or the other, you can if you work at it, rationalize it as part of the infrastructure down there. And there is no other way to look at it especially when you've ^ . saying go down introduce yourself, make sure they know wno you are, and so forth. When the drugs start coming from^ panama ro the States, you have a little trouble with the rationaliztion because then you realize that it's your family getting hur w hen did vour oome UP with the drug problem SO YOU R whole business.. k: got out of the w ho l e thing dealing with this .

How did you explain it.- I a? 62 (& R: well, the focus was on simply the fact that Iran had made what in my opinion was a serious attempt to open some form of negotiations and had provided a list, a variety of bits of information that seemed to be bonafide. i took it to Marine counterintelligence and said, here you guys are professional sceptics, disprove roe. They came back and said, we can't, it's right as far as we know, and you've got stuff in there that we don't know anything about, so go right ahead with it. D: simply based on this is the way to get the hostages back, that's what you were mainly concerned about? R: at that point that is all that I was talking about. Then I wrote another memo. I wrote the first one in November, and Rich Muller delivered it. And then in January of 86 I wrote the second one, and there was a dramatic change between the two time periods, within a 30 day time period the pre-conditions that I had been given by the folks in Teheran had dropped from, had all gone away. There were no pre-conditions, and the only question was when and where can we sit down and talk, because we've got to talk. This is draining us, and we've reached the end of our rope, and we need to do something about it and we obviously can't sit down and talk to you in public. But we sure as hell can sit down in private. How do we go about it. I thought, well why not. I certainly have access to the Vice President's office. I can get it that far. I had no access to the president's office, but I can get it through George Bush's people. So I did. D: the Iranian's who contacted you were people around Raf asan jani? R: yeah, Rasfanjani representatives whom I knew, and I knew them to be reliable folks. D: so you had still some hope that this road might lead to the release of the hostages, at least up until the time when the plane was shot down and the whole thing. R: and then it becomes a political problem that nobody is willing to touch. D: so all thruogh that two-thirds of 86 you have this ? R: it certainly was a thought that this is something that could be checked on, could be dealt with. D- vou also were through a longer period sending messages to M^narchik I think it was Menarchik, you were sending messages about Demavend . R: yeah, we had talked, Menarchik and I had talked about 63 (t r) : szx^ of t^hoss in6ssd<^6s 0 nd up in that chronology published 1>Y he Kdtoional Security Archives. p * * A * # a ^. 4 . I ; have we covered all of Central America as far as you can R: no, but that's the highlights. D: Central America, theres a whole list of people here. Other than the individual who's identity and such must be carefully sealed but presumably we would like to speak to with your assistance. Are there others who we might be able to talk to, who would be willing to talk to us? I said that we have had some contact or I thought I might have told you. We have had brief incounter with Will Northrop before he went back, and hope maybe to pursue that. You said that maybe if something happens in this next week that would change his situation, that might make it easier. R: I think you are going to find him a little easier to deal with for two reasons. I think that there are going to be some changes in the Israeli government in the near future that would make it easier for him to talk to you, and the other part of it is just the fact that he's home. I can tell the difference when I talk to him on the phone. He's just a lot more relaxed, a lot more comfortable than he was when he was here. I'm sure part of it is the fact that he's back in Isreal, and his baby s been bom, and mom is healthy and things like that. D: T c it. There are people who said and there's a telephone conversation on the end of a video documentary made by a British journalist by the name of Suzy Morgan in which it's either Ron ■^cker or Gary Howard, one of those two Texas guys who's on the ^Tnl, and reportedly or I guess we know the voice on the other end is Will Northrop and they discuss the identity of the La Pence bomber. Northrop says, well he, they ain't going to find him, or words to that effect. J don't know whether you source to any of this, but we had some hope th®t Northrc^ might be able to help us identify this person. And then the one contact we had with him indicated, well it's rumored, that he's in Mexico, but I have to go back and check with my people in Israel before I can tell you anything more about that Does any of that make sense to you that Northrop might be of help in that. IT A. didn't know he had any conversations with anyl^dy about it, think this, yea, if he set out to find who that was or to • more about the individual, he would have the resources to do i t . R: but I ■’’N 1): do you have any suspicions of your own just ol that person? to the identity R; yeah, I've got some suspicions, but that's all they are. me when I'm fresh in the D: can you share them? R; well let me think about it. morning. D; How well do you know Jack Compton? R: fairly well, D: he's somebody, I know Rebecca has talked to him somewhat, and I know. I think we should probably talk to him some more. R: Jack is a good person. If he can help you he probably ^ill. He is extremely knowledgable about South America, Central America, and Mexico, the drug problems that Texas involved in, and a lot of the inner working of Customs and the BNDD. He started off as being DD, and then he woun up customs . Dt he knows about Iron Mountain doesn't he? R: oh yeah, intimately. Cal White, and.... 's going to take you into people like D: I know?

D: it will show his D.C. phone number? R; it will show his phone number as being a real regular phone number that was called at Iron Mountain, Texas. D: is he still agency? R: yeah, as far as I know. I think he's Bangcock now. I'm sure he got shipped off to the end of the world in hopes everyone vculd forget him. D: but Compton can tell about him? D; How does he get from London to Iron Mountain?

Bill; what about Mena, Arkansas? ever come up in any of the discussions? R: there were shipments, regular shipments into Mena, Arkansas. I don't know who controlled that.

Kuwait wanted Stinger missies? amoung other things. was unable to get them officially?

And whether it's the secretary typing the memos or disgrntled employees somewhere down the line, somebody jr, going to tell somebody, and they are going to have a brothc'r or a realative that writes for a newspaper, and it's going to be all over the first page. D: Let's just let you tell as best you can, in a (|eneral way, what then happened in Demaved, and when we get to 1984, some other things begin to happen. I want to come to that, see how they relate. I think related to all of this, there was a period of some bad violence in Beruit, there was a Marine barracks, the Embassy before that, in March of 84 Buckley is Kidnapped, These set in motion some other activities that parallel and lead to what we now know as the sale, the shipment of arms to Iran separate from Demavend. Having set that as kind of a paralel course can you just sort of relate what occured in Demcivend un until April of 86? 83 Mih V R; sure. We had, somewhere in tr-e i- period we had a of Iranians come to Paris for a aefjX.r-g with the CIA They actually came to Switzer i a r-i .oecause they couldn't *3®^ _ ^ ^ from the U.S. Embassy France , in Paris. for meetings with CIA perEomfe D; Iranian government officials.

Van Raab had Joe King over there, and to talk to Delarocque on ^e ?^Spn“iie!“^^a°r'oJ^w°^ -g up on him. D; he was a Customs official.' What Joe was trying to do, and if you 85 once Sam Evans took the bait that this could be done, and there was somehow or other quote sanction unquote, that was all it took. Then Joe King shows up with his, with all his things there and says yes , but you understand that you are breaking the law . Yes, but you understand this is all illegal. He does everything under the sun to basically tell Veillot and Evans that they are breaking U.S. laws. He's got them all set up for their day in court, and of course later you see why. Because it's all being taped. Here's Joe just building the case. D; why weren't they alerted by that? Joe King, they knew him to be a Customs person/ R; well, Joe represented himself as someone other ^ Customs official. He was a representative, buyer, seller from the United States. D; they didn't know that he was Customs? R; no, absolutly not. D; he was the sting guy too? R; oh yeah, he was part of the sting that was set up. And I think Joe was one of the prime movers behind the sting. D; he wasn't a main official of the Customs service, he was an undercover ? R: oh, he was an undercover « m D; is that what he still is? R; no, I think he's head of., last somebody told me, Joe is now head of national investigartions wHen Harry gets himself home. Because Harry's controller in the Middle East was Buckley. D; no shit? R: absolutely. My East was Buckley . number of occasions . controller for part of the work in the Middle Harry and I had the same controllers on a D: you just knocked my socks offi reference , much more than reference , arms for hostages. OK we're know talking as it turns out, about for the R: I thought you knew this, I'm sorry D: where would I have known it? R: I don't know. D: no. no. and I'm very very interested in Buckley, apart from everything else. R: the minute you get into the hostage thing, the minute you get into the Middle East, it you forget Buckley, you've forgotten one of the key points. D: let's just say we had a couple of things going on, the bombings in Beruit, followed in March of 84 by the kidnapping of That became an important subject under a heading we will call arms for hostages, and they started. This is were Shackley comes in. R: everybody came in. If Buckley could be gotten out, that was crucial . D: but before that Buckley was running the Beruit station? R: Buckley is and Harry Rupp is working for him. I worked for him from time to time. D: and what was Rupp's capacity working for Buckley? R: Harry was by any standards an expert on the Middle East. For instance, Saudi Arabia, he had flown the king of Saudi Arabia and all the rest of these people. He had gone down there for TWA and provided training assistance for them. When the Saudis sent people to college in the United states they sent a lot of them to the Denver area because the kids stayed with Harry , and he kicked them in the ass and made sure that they took care of themselves. He had a long history in Saudi Arabia and the Riyadh and by extension into Iran because there were a lot of flights that started out in Riyadh and just headed out across the gulf , real simple to do. Buckley, Harry spent a lot of time working for Buckley. He was much more involved on a day to day basis with Buckley then I ever was, but in that respect we had the same guy who ran us. This was the man who knew the Middle East like the back of his hand. He played everybody over there. D: Rupp or Buckley? D; Buckley. He was by any standards an expert on the subject and was well known and well respected. Everybody hoped that no one knew that he was an agency person. I don't know when his cover got blown. D: it got blown in Pakistan. He was in the Embassy when they sacked the place. We're pretty sure they blew his cover then, they got him out sent him to Mexico. 87 R: they tried to cool him down for a while. D: he went to Mexico R: yeah. D: I suppose he was working for Pemex. We think he was doing a lot more than just sitting around cooling out. Then Casey came in and he came back to Langley and Casey kind of took him on as his pet. R: that's right. D; counterterrorist guy, and he kept begging Casey to send him back to the Middle East. He and Casey made a trip to Cairo in 83. It was really not very wise to send him back if his cover was blown, but they did send him back to Beruit. R: yeah. The hope that everyone had was that the cover was not blown that badly. It may have been shaken in the states a little bit, but whether or not somebody in the Middle East would have picked up on that was a big maybe. And Buckley knew the Middle East, and you're right he knew Casey. He knew that he had a useful function in the Middle East, and he's not the kind of guy to sit on his ass in Langley and say, well it's 5 o'clock. I'll go check my papers and go home. did you know Buckley personally? R D R yeah, I met him personally in Beruit? yeah, and the attempts attempts to get him out met the guy tried to help- to get him, once he got picked up, the re just frantic. Everybody who ever He was a good man, he really was. When you were working for him, you were working on the Demavend deal? D: R- veah that's were some of the direction came from. Now see, this is somShing that Blum would never look at. He wasn't ieritel Tn tSs kind of stuff. I kept telling dsdk that u're missing the boat, man, you guys are focusing on all these itic thinas that got reported in the newspapers. That's ^ust derfuf "Xt that! not the nuts and bolts of ho» the system Iked That was just some of the ancedotes that turned out to ^ ' interesting, but you're not looking at how the system of Buckley's main jobs in Beruit, is it true, was 88 * »• •r it V-v. tCi -■s: Wrir V- m \r \ ■v* ^ ■m v:/' m V*: ^ III- *'r' . y * - vir.'

R: he was going to directly with the Iranians D: the people whos people kidnapped him, thet were Hezbollah fundamentalist? R: and it probably was the fundamentalist group that eventually got him. Anyone who played the game with Iran took chances and you knew that that was a risk, that you could loose it. Because the group was totally uncontrolled by normal standards. You could deal with Rafsanjani, but Raf and his people would warn you that they couldn't control this crowd and you crossed lines with them, and your going to wind up dead.

But they are using this thing • and you say, well, what are you talking about? Well, they re talking about, specifically, assassinations, funded by narcotics money- So you say, ok, assassinations funded by narcotics. Now your talking about something very specific. Now I've got what your after, and that is what they are afraid of being revealed. And interesting enough, you've got the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Subcommittee on Narcotics Terrorism, which is what Kerry chairs, and is looking into, reason they designated that way, because they have what it is they're talking about. R: yes. The a good idea and Danny: and they spend a lot of time, and what happens is that they got pushed way off the focus of it and into just a gei one on narcotics. So, they're talking about the Bahamas, they're talking about all this stuff, and there's no spec-.^^^ indication that pindling isn't doing any kind of assassinations he's just a big drug dealer.

I can tell you about my little corner of the world. Danny: what I want to focus on is that we have heard a number of different things about Iron Mountain. We know that they were landing, for example, we know that Hasenfus's plane went in there, an actual C-123 went in there. R: are we talking Arkansas or Texas? Danny: no, we're talking Texas. R: Texas, ok. Danny: and we know that they were actually delivering cocaine in there, but there is another dimension to Iron Mountain. R: and that's the training. Danny: yeah, that is what we are taking a look at. What is kind of peripheral to one program, or that you can see it out of your peripheral vision with the other operations were going on, that each one's peripheral vision catches the other program, so as we are looking at the training operations and what kind of actual objective that those groups have got, there's this periphery of all this kind of transport going on, so we keep catching each others programs sort of out of the corners of our respective eyes here. And so what is it that you know about the actual training program that was going on? R: we used to bring bodies up for that, and occasionally take them back.

That will be their inclination. My guess is if you p y It right, by the time it becomes clear to them that they're oeing poisoned from their bite by you, that you want to have your thrust and thesis as to what you're going to complete showing to the court and basically to the world. Now its my opinion, which 1^11 share with Scott, that they're going to the issue of the October surprise aspect of get through on that issue and they'll fight all the way, and if you cut across the top of you on just it, that if you do and shove and push that and you get a 55 -60 percent probability showing that you were right and they were wrong, they'll recuse you on it, like they have on the weapons that are going around here and on the meetings that Bush had with Felix. There's such a public relations operations going to sort of reconceptuallize all of that to everybody and I think frankly, as I mentioned today at lunch, that substantively I think that once the evidence is put on it would lead almost anything to conclude that the Carter thing wasn't going to go through anyhow. The whole concept collapses into something very different, so that while that's a threat, I think it's being overblown as a threat. And so therefor, I think it would be overblown as a ultimate form of retaliation on your part to I say, it's not really stand them down when your all done clear that you have direct firsthand access based on your experiences with the piloting and the moving of stuff around and the money laundering etc., that you have direct access to that, i.7R a^- T think is basically the spear and the heart of these guvs . about this drug traf f i clci and bbe assassinations . You do have access to t-h o ^eans of funding trafficking information and that's the second wor st thing T j-h^Y're afraid of because i t^S HQt.,, it isn't nust that it was revelations of their black operations, but its something in and of itself that has a way of really freaking everybody out. So my 106 "‘f it seems at least at this point, in our prel that's to me targeting that iminary conversation, stuff going to get you in r losest^tS°l^ ® ^ you have and people that you can prod^^e knowledge that confirm all of that stuff produce very quickly — can blows to those auvs thov» k-.,. going to be major body stuff comes in, it lias the “^en that a real haymaker on them to on up through to some other stuff, which is jihe program and the o conceal the whole not at all sure that around j- - you're in the short run going to airectiy to that, to that top aspect of it. I do think that you probably , upon thinking about it hard enough, are going to be able to think of some people that could but l believe what your going to encounter, you know how people are about that one. Fuck you very much. I happened to have killed guys, and I'm hanging out and what the hell good is it going to do me to tell about that, and we'll all go down the shitter together. So fuck you very much. But on the other hand, you still do have the best access to a number of people who probably would be able to ge up on near that, at least as well as two or three other guys that we're talking to here. We can sort of help triangulate in on some of that . R: I why I'm of what ' s your point. I haven't interested in talking to going on then I do. thought of that at you. You've got a all.

I still don't think that they are going to be afraid of that, that much. Their willing to take a risk of you attempting to throw that stuff at them, in order to at least stand their best chance for neutralizing this October Surprise story. As I said, I do believe that if they get in so deep that they can't get out of it, that they'll spin it and come back at you saying, so what. And you may jump from this stuff, but you won't have landed anything on them, and they'll still be there to the next day. Now, so the what in my opinion, has is that the original program of Shackley had a dimensions to it that actually date back into late 73-74 over in Vietnam, in South East Asia, that in addition reinstateing the assassination operations, through Provisional Reconnaissance Units that had been forbidden congress under the guys in the Phoenix Program, there was fh{; whole military supply operation of taking weapons small ^ -• - that was being reported as lost to the se© you number of to the by C4 . etc / t and 108 A* **lii r. -ft % 4#, moving it on up to Udorn airbase wi^-k x you ever talk to anybody or = Arnold.

Gary Howard is sitting down playing the tape recording, and he said this is a man who has very c^lose connections to Mossad, and he's going to tell you something, well, it was Will on the tape. I don't know if there were very many people who knew it when they were listening to it, it was Will talking, saying that this bomber that detonated the bomb at La Penca is closely connected to the Mossad, and you're not going to be able to find him, you're not going to be able to get him. And, has Will ever said anything to you, or talked to you in any way about either how he knew that or whether he was speculating about that or whether he's got any continuing access to information about that? R: about the bomber himself? Danny : yeah . R: yeah we talked about that. Danny: what did he say? R: I can't, I don't want to repeat it, I'd rather he tell you. I "would agree with what you just said. I'll take it another step further and say that there is someone who can be produced and pj^Q^^tly proven to be , to put proven in guotes , to be the bomber , and I've got a picture of him and it wouldn't be to hard to, in fact I could probably construct a case in about a day and a half, that he was the man that did the job. Danny: you have a picture of the guy that you think is the same guy. It's a separate picture from pictures of Galil? R : yeah . Danny: would I be able to see that? R: no. If you want to go to Zurich with me, but I don't have it here, no. He is the person who would be set up if, it's not the man who did the job, but it is definitely the man who would be set up for it. If it comes that close, and this is who the 110 Mossati would f t ont u;; t h<> muti have talked aliout Ibh;. | Mossad had in that , i rt sally has told me.

He is certainly not esteem in Israel right now, no matter how you look at the other hand you don't burn your own people, and the get to Harari, the closer you're going to get... the get to the bomber, the closer you get to Harari, the get to burning Mossad.

His summers during high school were spent working as a busboy at Willamette View Manor in Hilwaukie, Oregon, a job he returned to after his freshman and sophomore years in college. While working at McBride Timber Co, Ltd. to save money for college in the summer of 1960, he was trained as a pilot in Prince George, British Columbia, Along with his high school classmate Ralph Johnson, Brenneke matriculated to the University of Seattle and entered the honors program. During his stay at the University of Seattle, Brenneke worked in the Philosophy and English departments, grading papers and examinations in his spare time. He received a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Seattle in 1964, finishing his final year at the University of Washington in Seattle. During his senior year, Brenneke was inducted into ”Vho's Who in American Universities and Colleges."

Periodically during the late 1960 's and early 1970' s, Brenneke performed contract work with Air America in Southeast Asia. He also employed his flying skills in South America for the C.I.A, These flights formed the basis for a June 20, 1979 letter on agency letterhead to the Federal Avration Adiurmstration certifying Brenneke 's hours flown. 1 lowing his stint as a professor Ko i ^ r» u ^ e x ^ vx.c£»&or, ne went to work for Robert rc--ocK anv* the vi.S.

With regard to the Panamanian branch of ^ about one half of its clients were U.S, citizens at that .. Brenneke was paid a nominal fee as compensation for his services. orenneKe s next intelligence overture came from the Israelis in -'‘O'* cr when he was asked to provide similar kinds of information vim respect to his dealings in Beirut, His contact with Mossad was m.rcic.i a number of individuals, not a singular source. As with the ir-i crration tor Bob Kerritt, Brenneke received a stipend for his work, *n i970, Brenneke left his position with Pollock and managed his cvr. investaent organization, an offshore network entitled Financiers International Limited, I.F.M,A., the International Fund for Mergers anc Ac tills it ions , was set up in Panama City in 1970 and 1971 with the assistance of an attorney named David Lopez. It was run by Brenneke and an indivldioal named Ramon D'Onofrio, Each held 49 percent control vhile a Swiss banker (now deceased) held a one percent share of I.F.M.A. stock. He returned to Portland in 1972 and began a real estate business VI th his family, an enterprise he still manages in Lake Oswego, Oregon. In late 1972 or early 1973, Bob Kerritt informed Brenneke that he would like to adopt I.F.M.A. for his activities in Central America. Brenneke thus signed power of attorney over to David Lopez, who had accompanied him on the original trips to Panama to set up the discreet investment Following a three year respite in Portland from 1972 until S4D«ecime in 1975, Brenneke received a telephone call from an Israeli whom he knew in Beirut.

His knowledge of narcotics trafficking resulted from conversations with pilots who flew the DC-6s, Aero - Commanders and Lears ! planes were registered in either Panama, Colombia or the United States. Brenneke made his initial trip to Medellin in 1984 to introduce himself and allay any fears that he might be a DEA informant. It was co«K>n practice for newcomers in Central America to visit Medellin in order to conduct business with the required blessings. Pessah Ben-Or sent a Cuban escort with Brenneke. They met several people, most of whoa were well dressed and spoke English. One of Brenneke 's close frien^, an American pilot, is still involved with the network in Medellin ^d would like a way to completely dissociate himself from their activities. Gary Berenwald, a former pilot for the cartel Brenneke 's activities in Central and South America. Brenneke has accurately identified the landing strips employed by the network in Panama. The DC-6s, DC- 7s and Lears flew into three locations. These strips have been independently corroborated by Jose Blandon, Noriega's former intelligence officer. Panama City housed the primary airstrip while Cologne provided a frequently alternative. The final landing area was a grass strip with rudimentary facilities, located about 150 miles north of Panama City. Situated in a valley, the third drop point was located on the Pacific side of Panama, about 50 miles inland. There also existed a backup facility in southern Panama, approximately 60-70 miles inland, to be emtlcved in the event of complications. A. W Vhile centered around Hedellin, other Colombian towns also served as export centers for the cartel, Berenquia, long known for its significant contribution to the marijuana trade, underwent a conversion accomodate the increasing cocaine traffic.

Villa de Cencio, of Bogota and approximately 250 miles inland, was an loading port for the cocaine flights to Panama. Ctc£ the planes returned from Colombia to Panama, the cargo was for the 30 St part shipped to the United States on planes with tags from outside the region. The exceptional case was the trip Brenneke made in August 19; 5 from Medellin to Amarillo aboard a DC -6 owned by the Colombians. Brenneke had taken an aircraft down to the main airport and vas to catch another plane back to Panama when Ben- Or suggested that he fill the seat left vacant by an ill co-pilot. The DC- 6 had already been fueled and loaded for the trip. me aircraft vas familiar to Brenneke as one of the many planes been remodeled for smaller cargo outside of Los Angeles at a River shop run by Victor Sharp and Andy Quayle. The firm was "or facilitating the transition from the less profitable SI ness to the cocaine empire. Complete with newly designed cargo doers and nets, the aircraft was capable of handling 20-24,000 However this particular load was only approximately 15 x 8 x In addition to Brenneke and an American pilot still employed the third member of the crew resembled something of a a Hispanic passenger who remained in the body of the plane bv the Br .

Friction beween. Harari and Martin precluded a working relationship, thus the network s warehouses and equipment were never shared. Brenneke had ties to the Tamiami Gun Shop through its owner John Caton. His link to Ron Martin was facilitated by a Cuban named Manny Rivas, who for years operated in Bolivia and Central America as an associate of Martin's. Brenneke's involvement with Martin included setting up a casino in the Grand Canary Islands as well as handling various financial transactions through I.F.M.A, in Panama. Brenneke has reason to believe that portions of the weapons ostensibly bound for the contras were resold to Martin. Brenneke is also acutely aware of Martin's drug trafficking activities in the region. In August 1985 , there was a meeting held at Howard Air Force Base to discuss the Increasing role of drug shipments in the Central American network. Brenneke maintains that Felix Rodriguez flew down to Panama City to Insure the group of pilots and Mossad operatives that drugs were not an integral aspect of the operation. Although Rodriguez has denied any activity in Panama under oath before Congress, Brenneke asserts that Rodriguez commended the participants in the network for doing good work. In reality, cocaine shipments expanded from about percent of their business at the outset in 1983 to around sixty to seventy percent by the fall of 1985. ten I ^'1 y?‘ ^P' V BKr-{ 'tl'C % Thr. ..(...^Uuft wKli Koiti iRuo'/. , H.>i, l). ,„„i oompmiy 1 .> 1 t i.pp* oxlnu.t ..ly KKci wopk «lloi Ufomu'kn ' fi tlljj.Ut l »> Aui. ho wn!i in rm t Uuul lor hist wfuitUug fmnivm ^iiuy nu Howard All Form Ua*m wuri Ukoly liuUl Moiunttnui ApptMU lop. ia n«j»t ly prowjiiul tatlgoofi, 1\» oiuioko t nu'fiwaji^o that *'what ymi m o dn 1 or lu In t ho wc»*ro wlnoiup. l lut w# 10, t ho son.slon at in I a t o Aup,tOi t , Hi\yn Rndi I oonvoytul not loiuil iiitorost . d boon worklofi; out him.Holl nti An omlsAi Uhllo ho did not nun l\ i H i o I a 1 1 o nsi h I p wit •ITAGl.

Brenneke was then hv^Zaid Sherida . a Palestinian living in Kuwait , Sherida ran two trading companies for the ruling elite in Kuwait, the'^Kuwait Tra ding rnnma nv and^heem Trading and Contracting Company . Known largely as fronts for government operations, these trading companies performed a variety of tasks, most often for the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Interior. The Kuwaiti Minister of Defense visited the United States in April 1984 in an attempt to acquire the Stinger missile for his country’s arsenal. When the proposal was officially refuted, the Kuwaitis planned a transfer to the contras in order to facilitate their progress on the Stinger. Brenneke was approached by Sherida in the fall of 1984 in Frankfurt to negotiate the logistics of the contribution. A second meeting with Sherida and ^obert Send took place later in the year at the Hilton in Zurich, Send has been publicly confirmed as an asset of the Central Intelligence Agency in his dealings in the Persian Gulf and in Central America, Senci’s contacts in the agency were the late D.C.I.A. William Casey and a senior Iranian counter-terrorism official. His vast experience in intelligence matters pertaining to Iran made him privy to information regarding the airlift Brenneke participated in at the outset of the 1980' s. Send was also aware that Brenneke Vs associate in the operation, Will Northrop, had "extensive activity in Iran. ^^ Brenneke maintains that the money from Kuwait was channeled thr ou gh P anama , at one point passing throuRh his laund>ering firm^ I.F.M.A, in Panama City . Following the two meetings to discuss the financial arrangements, the transaction was consvunmated in early 1985. Send recently agreed to meet with International Center staff, at which time he confirmed that Brenneke was known to Kuwaiti government officials as someone with extensive contacts in Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. who was also plugged in to Central America, He added that he was aware of people describing Brenneke *s time spent in Kuwait and that Brenneke was taken seriously by the government there as one recruiting sponsors for the contras. Former F.D.N. leader Chicano Cardenal asserts that Send approached him in the fall of 1984 to sit on a board of trustees to oversee private contributions to the contras, an offer he refused. ' ^Senci acknowledges that he has met Sherida, — and he knows . him tp_ operate a front for the ruling family in Kuwait^. 13 -'W that "Shawl" told him to make the call. In addition to his personal distaste for the narcotics trafficking, it seemed to him that the Kossad operatives were distressed by the magnitude of the operation well. He also phoned Don Gregg later in 1985 to express his disaffection for the second drug flight, whereupon he says Gregg threatened him with the Justice Department if he ever disclosed the operation. Aside from Gregg, Brenneke registered his discontent with his former classmate Ralph Johnson, now a senior official in the State Department. Several calls. Including one he received from the late William Casey, preceded a January 6, 1986 letter from brenneke to Johnson. The communication detailed the pervasive nature of t e s network and explicitly pinpointed U.S. government acquiescence. Brenneke made known his intention to withdraw from all aspects operation, a sentiment he repeated in telephone conversations wi various U.S. officials. Beginning in January and continuing into February 1986 Brenneke was instructed to travel to Europe and gather all of the paperwork on the network In Central America and travel vouchers, were forwarded from J Paris to Lt. Col. E. Douglas Menarchik via ^i^h Washington.

I 15 Menarchik in the vice president's office in February and March 1986 » an official record of his conversations with Gregg has not yet been produced. Brenneke did, however, maintain contemporaneous notes of two discussions he had with Gregg. He asserts that his calls to Gregg were made on U.S, Sprint access codes given to him by the Israelis, took place while he was in London or Paris, or were conducted on secure lines from a C.I.A. office in Portland occupied at the time by Jim Assures. Typically, the codes would remain "live" for six to eight hours and would then be switched so that calls could not be monitored. Additional telephone calls , including extensive contact with Ralph Johnson and conversations with the C.l.A, in Los Angeles, are documented by Brenneke *s phone logs from his office in Lake Oswego. Appendix II provides information relating to Brenneke *s work in Central America, From Ambivalence to Pentabilltv: Washington Responds These assertions have met nothing but the strictest denials. Gregg maintains that he has never spoken to Richard Brenneke while Johnson insists that he never received the handwritten communication from his college classmate. Phyllis Oakley, the State Department's spokesperson on the matter, has said that Johnson immediately put Brenneke *s January 6 letter into the proper channels by forwarding the material to Langley. Clearly Johnson felt the C.l.A. to be the logical recipient of material from Brenneke, whether it was Demavand or drugs in Central America. Yet the C.l.A. has curiously denied any relationship whatsoever with Brenneke. Johnson also mysteriously appears in Brenneke 's notes on meetings in London and Nice with John Delarocque and Michael Surer, Johnson's arrival date and hotel information in London appear, along with the name and number of an Economic Counselor, with references to "timing" and "nervous re- supply," Brenneke maintains that he had no information that Johnson was to meet him in London until Johnson surprised him with a telephone call to that effect. Several government agencies have impeded an investigation into Brenneke 's assertions by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Thus far, the U.S. Customs Service has misled Congress with respect to their relationship with Brenneke, and both the F.B.I* and the C.l.A, have ^eftjsed to cooperate with Capitol Hill investigators. In addition, Donald Gregg and Lt. Col. Menarchik have refused to speak to Senate Foreign Relations Counsel Jack Blum. Menarchik, a squadronmate of Buzz Sawyer's at the Air Force Academy, continues to refuse comment on his seven minute telephone conversation with Brenneke on March 4, 1986, Perhaps foremost in the refusals to cooperate with the Senate I. 16 Foreign RfcUtlons Coj^lttee Ir^s been the which to date has dmuUd Che release of ^ single piece of paper on Brenneke. Brenneke obtained access to his file from the F.B.I. in late 1985 He asserts that Che file came to the conclusion that he had worked in some rapacity with the C.I.A. and that his White House contact was Ralph Johriijon , Thic agancy has gone to great lengths to discredit the Brenneke saga, issuing a very rare statement denying Brenneke's affiliation. rhH statement, not surprisingly, does not hold up to intense scrutiny. While the C.I.A. maintains they obtained the name of the signatory to the Infamous June 20, 1979 letter from The Oregonian, both James Long *md hla former partner at The Oregonian, Leslie Zaltz, emphatically deny over having seen the letter or conveying the information to the C.I.A. The Oregonian has also said in print that they have. never been furnished a copy of the letter in question. In addition, the agency misquoted the date of the letter that fueled the public statement for Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) . That, coupled with the nebulous source of the C.I.A. *s information, makes Brenneke* s relationship with the U,S, intelligence cooomunity less lucid, giving rise to new questions without answers. Since the press conference staged by McConnell to unveil the mysterious C.I.A. denial, Brenneke has written to McConnell asking to take part in the next public debate over his credibility. For reasons unknown to those attending the last session of hearings held by the Subcommittee on Narcotics and Terrorism, McConnell chose to assail Brenneke as a liar and a forgerer without provocation. Brenneke wrote to McConnell to reconfirm his intention to cooperate with the Subcommittee at their request. Since that time, he has assisted the staff of the Foreign Relations Committee with leads which verify his claims . Brenneke was originally identified as a C.I.A. contractor In a February 1987 piece in the New York Times, following the release of his documents from the Evans trial in New York. On May 23, Newsweek introduced the controversy behind Brenneke and his allegations, raising further questions about the role of the vice president's office In the contra resupply operation. Brenneke then appeared in two consecutive pieces on A.B.C. News /World News Tonight, one of which was the lead story on May 23. The C.B.S. Evening News followed A.B.C. 's lead. Since that time, stories have appeared on Brenneke and his alleged link to Don Gregg In various regional publications, Brenneke has recently appeared on nationally televised broadcasts 17 • on C.N,N.» incxuaj^iife caiivln show "Larry Kins Uv«” ever controversial "Crossfire" with Pat Buchanan and Tom hradciM During the Crossfire appearance* John Daugherty of i\w Couik (J iat Amf^rican Security stated thar i..*’ „ . .

The validity of this information Is (tiil>ioua ac best, likely put forth for the sole purpose of dlacredltlng lirenneke-s allegations . Conclusion Given the denials put forth and the difficulty in obtaining information from government channels* energies should be focused ori several leads in Brenneke's saga which have not yet been checked Mnsr: crucial among these is John Delarocque in Saint TropoE, He will not only elucidate Arie Ben Menashe's perplexing role, but ho purportedly has access to Hossad as well. It seems that Bernard Veillot is not inclined to speak favorably of Breimeke, although he says Brenneke portrayed himself as an emissary of the vice-president. Aside from Delarocque* other sources stand out in their knowledge of Brenneke and his dealings: Harry Rupp Gary Berenwald Bob Senci Manny Rivas Ed Dickstein Will Northrop Klaus Dieter-Lensch Fritz Haenard Based on the information found in Appendix I* Jose Blandon, Woody Elston* David Lopez, Jacques Mathenet and Zald Sherida should each back separate aspects of Brenneke's assertions, whether through direct contact or via a third party.

August 4, 1988 Senator Mitch McConnell United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator McConnell: I write to convey my concern over statements made during the recent hearings of the Subcommittee on Narcotics, Terrorism and International Operations. I At the outset of Felix Rodriguez *s testimony, you chose to initiate a discussion of my contact with Don Gregg and Doug Menarchik in the vice president's office -- a link you obviously do not believe ever existed. That you manipulated a public forum to discuss my accounts troubles me because it bore little relevance to Mr. Rodriguez's testimony that day, especially considering that your statements came at the outset of the questioning, prior to a discussion of any substantive matters . I can assure you that my assertions can not be readily dismissed at the hand of a notary public witnessing an affidavit. In light of your sentiment that Gregg's statement is "further evidence of Brenneke's lack of credibility," it seems to me chat a public probe into my activities before your subcommittee is in order if fairness -- as you have defined it regarding Felix Rodriguez -- is to be achieved. I am willing to make myself available to you and ocher members of the subcommittee at your request, and I do hope that any forthcoming public debate over my credibility will be conducted in my presence. cerely , Richard .•V / Brennekc KutKfi VVliHc • / H fh/r tttf I iml M /* hi fittutti ui I dA,ifO ( luitnii.m • Sh iiIk'h HjiJUU • I mam It JilHiiUnM • I . . .,v it • M ,( ^ n « •ilUH n ( III A Ml * Mai Hill I JtS • I Nilui - r I ill • I ti/iiticih I lat ii,>v !, >, • ' MiIttM *, !

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20004 (202) 383-8940 October 19, 1989 qy HAND Tbe Honorable George H. w. Bush President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: Unless different standards for the release of information to the courts are adopted by the intelligence agencies, we face the likelihood that foriiier high officials cannot be tried for crimes related to their conduct in public office. The intelligence agencies, the Attorney General, and mv office have been trying to deal with this problem without exposing intelligence secrets, and protecting government deniability of publicly known facts. It seems clear that ir we continue in this effort to withhold this information we lose a much more important national value - the rule of law. on December 19, 1986, I was appointed Independent rounsel with responsibility for the investigation and n?Sse?ution of climes growing out of the Iran/Contra matter, a« well as illegal obstructions of my work. For over two Ceers mv office received the assistance of the Reagan idwinistration, through presidential representatives, iS.hir. and A, B. culvahou... Now work ot offic* is fatting sfirxously hampered fay the lack of any iiiillr point of contact in your Administration, leeordingly, I hm writing to request an appointment to dlllSi tii; very serious problem and to present to you in abbreviated form the essence of the problem.

Only tha President, however, can daal with agencies of the executive branch if they, on a highly subjective basis, refuse to make information available to tha courts because of their concern for the difficulties and niceties of intelligence work. Independent Counsel must ba reviewed from a viewpoint broader than chat of the agencies directly concerned with intelligence issues. There is a vary serious danger that a ritualistic application of classification procedures will insulate most if not all officers responsible for national security from prosecution for crimes committed in office.

Mr* Hemmings notes that tenner DEXHI and Director of INR in the Departnient of State, Rftv Qine. is coUaboratinz with Jorm Marks in the "Search for Common Ground" •r ^ * % Zvendenkov. Kiychukov ' Note: In recent years the security link between the CIA and its former officers and other ex-DOD and cx*FBI officers has been blurred to the point where cpmpartmentation, internal ccuriiy, and protection agairst penetration by foreign intelligence services, via ex-officers f or their corporate friends has broken dos^m. Secrets are traded, bought and sold, contracts ^ let, and denis cut with foreign go'.'emincnts using proprietary inside information from CIA i files. Tlie result is that CIA’s legitimate foreign intelligence mission has been subverted by ^ special interest groups and political factions. '/ Mr. Hemmintts further notes that a group of ex-officers that includes Tlieodore G. Shackley, TTiomtis Clines, Ray Cline, Barker.” Saunders, and Mr. (have systematically tried ro parl.ay their close .\gcncy' ties into proSt for many years. Mr. Shackley s ai^ Mr. Clines ties to the EASTCO scandal, and to the sale of silenced assassination pistols, C-4 explosive and an AR-l.*i lo Libyan leader QadhaQ come to mind, as well as Shackley s personal involveraem Mth h'lanushehr Ghorbanifar and Albert Hakim m the Iran-Contra gun-running scandal of the mid-19S0's. The VARICON group also attempted in the mid-1980s to produce and then sell to CIA. as its official "cocktail table" book, an illustrated book on the CIA and its history'. Senior CU management banned the book and its producers from the building in a notice sent to al! employees, but this ^.'aming was apparently ignored by later CIA managers. Mr. Hemmings strongly believes that these commercial acmmies constitute a conflict of imcrcsi, a breach of CLA security, and a ploy to gam access to CIA employees SO gain unfair commercial advantage and for commercial espionage purposes.

Enclosed are: EXHIBIT A: Associated Press article (see especially hiQhlifiht ed portions) which demonstrates the importance of obtainiap the affivadit of the Greek reporter who heard the audio tape reportedly made of McFarlane's and North's secret meotinp with Iranian officials during their bizarre trip to Tehran in late May 1986. The article, dated 11/30/86, refers to a DIMOKRATIKOS LOGOS article of the previous day, November 29, 1986. by the Greek reporter whose affivadit Glenn McDuffie wrote you about and said you could obtain by calling Greek Orthodox priest, Father Elias Scoulas at (919) 484-2002 (homo) or (919) 484— 20I0 (office). On the tape, McFarlano reminds the Iranians, during one of McFarlano' s, North's, Cave's and Gorbanifar's meetings with them on the top floor of the Tehran Hilton Hotel in lata May 1986, that the Reagan-Bush Administration had agreed to delivery of $5 BILLION in military equipment, of which $1.3 BILLION had by that time ALREADY boon supplied. By contrast, the entire Iran/Contra scandal was about only a paltry $12-$32 million worth of arms shipments to Iran. EXHIBIT B: VyashingtonL_Po*f article of November 29. 1986. The highlighted portion revealed, for the first time, that McFarlano went on another of his secret missions to Iran at the VERY BEGINNING OF THE REAGAN-BUSH ADMINISTRATION, in 1981 . It would be critical to be able to call McFarlano as a witness in Richard's trial. Establish 1) the early 1981 McFarlane trip to Iran; 2> that U.S. arms began to flow to Iran in earlv 1981, and the jury will see that the foundation for those two facts from lie in 1980.

Exhibit B (see rx.;n lighting) reveals that McFarlano participated in a “SECRET *^old-close* TRIP** (from the context of the article, xa Iran) in 1981, at the very outset of the Roagan-Bush Administration. It IS my belief, therefore, that the late May 1906 trip to Iran eiS DESIGNED TO INVOLVE THE SAME CAST OF CHARACTERS, ON BOTH THE w S IRANIAN SIDES, AS THE EARLY 1981 MEETING BY McFARLANE TO IRAN AND/OR THE OCTOBER 1900 MEETINGS. From p. 237 uf the Cong r as sional Iran/Contra report , wo Knovi# that McFarlane, North, woerge Cave (another reason to believe Casa was pre?tont in 1980 and/or 1901), the NSC's Howard Toioher, and Israeli Amirum Nir \Secord remained in Tel Aviv) were present oi» the American side in Tehran in late May 1906- It has now been roveeXud that, over the tour days McFarlane, North and Cave were irt Tehran, they met in different combinations with the following IrariAiirts, who then becofiie prime candidates for having ALSO been present jii 1 9BU and/or 1981 meeting (s) at which the proposed smoking gun tape was made: 1) Manucher Gorbanifar, who was Nir and therefore Israels link to the Iranian government, who was later nuspected by Iran and the U.S. Congress of having actually worked for Israel j 2) Trends Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Shnikhoiisiam, WHO, SIGNIFICANTLY FOB THE RE-ENACTMENT SCENARIO, BEEN THE LEADER OF THE RADICAL HIUUENTS WHO TOOK AND HELD the 52 HOSTAGES IN THE U.S. t MRASSY IN TEHRAN In 1979-81, and wa5 C005 THE Hoy to nn arms-fon-hostages doal by the U.S. a«Idiietion and therefore referrod to as the *Engxno‘; 3) Irufi's Doputy Prt^e Minister Moshon Kengarlou, who hud been rosponsxblo for the Kidnapping of Wm Buckley, and who is ("of erred to the Second Contact * in the Congressional Iren/Contru Report; 4) a close Ratsunjeni ansociato and Chr* of the Iranian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Commit te«» , Mohammad Ali Hadi Naiafabadi* who was called the 'Advisor' (to Rafsanjarii and also to Priove Minister Mussavl) by the Amor leans; jiiid b) Mohammed Lavasani, head of the political departmont of Iran's Foreign Ministry. Also involved with the meet inns wore Sadegh Tabatabai, who was referred to as the ‘Relative* by the Americans because ho was Khomeini's son-in-law; Tabatabai had ALSO BEEN KHOMEINI'S TOP HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR IN 1980; 2 ) Ahmed Khomeini, Khomeini's son, whom Martin Killian now says v^as the 'point man* for the 1980 meetings; and 3) the Deputy Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Sham Khani. (The fantastic source for the above list is THE IRANIAN TRIANGLE, by Samuel Segev, Chapter 10, together with pp- 213-263 of the Congressional Iran/Contra Report). If the real purpose of the late May 1986 Tehran meeting was to re-create one of the earlier 1980 and/or 1981 meetin 9 (s), one would of COUPS and the Rev* the EXPECT Sheikholislam, Tabatabai, Ahmed Khomeini, ards Deputy to have been involved* Sheikholislam, especially I would have been a critical and nocessury puf*cicipant in 1980 and/or 1981. As noted above, Killian says that t»e now has sources who say that Ahmed Khomeini, Khomeini s son, was ■point wan* for tho 1980 roooting(5). Based on the re -enactment theory, one twould also expect Ahmed Khomeini's * chaperone* / Revolutionary Guards ■friend Hamid Nagashian to have shown up in May 1986. Interestingly, Nagashian was Deputy Commander ot the Revolutionary Guards bacK in 1980 POSITION as o?ie a now-known participants in May 1986, bhaw ing to Houshang Lavi, another Iranian who remains — the SAME am.

This effort was largely in support of Agency operations that were run from a Station in Western Europe. 2. 1975 to June 1985, I served broad continuously, and at CIA Headquarl from summer 1885 to August 1988. From December 1986 to September 1987, I was Deputy Chlef/North Africa; and from September 1987 untiti June 1968, I was Deputy Chief of Egyptian Operations in NE/EGYPT.

Mr. M. may have been aware of Mr. Heinmings actions in reporting the approach becau.se he was very cold and hostile to Mr. Hemmings. On 27-28 November, 1989, Mr. Hemmings visited CIA Headquarters at the request of CIA Inspector General William Donnelly, who to that point had refused to acknowletige or investigate or di.scu.ss any of the corrupt practices brought to his attention by Mr. I lemmings, personally, starting on 4 April 1989. Mr. Donnelly listened to Mr, Hemmings version of events, thanked him, and stated that Mr. Hemmings was quite correct, and that lie was looking Into it. Mr.Hemmings said he doubted it, given CIA’s past record of avoiding or covering up corruption, and this particular incident. Mr. Donnelly then .said that five other CIA officers had received similar recruitment approaches.

Mr. Hemmings notes that former DDCl and Director of INR in the Departme nt o . > Ray Qine, is collaborating with John Marks in the "Search for Common _ organization’s efforts to establish liaison witii the KGB, and specifically the pro- . KGB leadership led by Chairman Valeriy Krychukov and Generals Sherba .« Zvendenkov. Note: In recent years the security link between the CIA and its former olficcrs and other ex-DOD and ex-FBI officers has been blurred to the poiitt where compartmentation. "derna .security, and protection agaimst penetration by foreign intelligence services, via ex-ollicers or their corporate friends has broken down. Secrets are traded, bought and sold, contrach let. and deals cut with foreign governments using proprietary inside information from CIA files. The result is that CIA’s legitimate ferreign intelligence mi.ssion has been subverted by special interest groups and political factions. Mr Hemmings further notes that a group of ex-officers that includes 1 heodore G. Shackley, Thomas Clines, Ray Cline, Barker, Saunders, and Mr. M have systematically tried to psirlay their close Agency ties into profit for many years. Mr. Shackley s and Mr. Clines ties to the EASTCO scandal, and to the sale of silenced assassination pi.stols, C-4 explosive and an AR-15 to Libyan leader Qadhafi come to mind, as well as Shackley’s personal involvement with Manushehr Ghorbanifar and Albert Hakim in the Iran-Contra gun-running .scandal of the mid-1980’s. The VARICON group also attempted in the mid-l9WVs to produce and then sell to CIA, as its official "cocktail table" book, an illustrated botrk on the CIA and its history. Senior CIA mamigement banned the book and its producers front the ti -I l^ii* iliic ttKt r ti 1 n \iyne n r^n f lu building in a notice sent to all employees, but this warning was apparently ignored by later CIA managers. Mr. Hemmings strongly believes that these commercial activities constitute V.. l/Tfc I I Ulliri^V. I ITii , « C7 y ^ a conRict of interest, a breach of CIA security, and a ploy to g;un acce.ss to CIA employees .so they could gain unfair commercial advantage and for commercial espionage purpo.ses. 4 lie security of the Safir Group, Parvus, Inc,, International Trading and Investment Guaranty Corp., and the Information Security International, Inc. group also deserve close scrutiny because they are all owned and staffed by ex-CIA, ex-DOD, and ex-NSC officers who regularly u.se their acce.ss to CIA, NSC, FBI and other .senior officiaLs to engage in commercial activities. Incident 2 - Murder in Lebanon In November, 1984, while on a visit to CIA I Icadt|uarters, Mr. I lemmings learned from 1 larry ..., Deputy Chief of Operations, Near East and South Asia Division, who was in charge of Divisitui paramilitary operations, that two CIA staff paramilitary officers on assignment in Beirut, Lebanon, had murdered one or two I.ebajiese Palestinians who had been arrested by Lebanese Government authorities on suspicion of involvement in the bombing of the U.S. Eniba.ssy, Beirut, some two years earlier, I^banese authorities allowed the CIA officers access to the prisoners, and the CIA officers electroshocked, tortured and then heat the suspects to death. Mr was very upset about this, and said the I,ebancse Government had protested to the CIA and the U.S. Government, and wished to detain the CIA officers for trial. He said the Lebanese Government tilso (|uietly protested the murders in a diplomatic note. The CIA and the U.S. Government refused to turn the CIA officers over to the Lebane.se, and they were instead brought back to the U.S. Mr. 1 lemmings was told the CIA investigated the matter and lired the two employees. The case was referred to the U.S. Attorney General for criminal prosecution but the tlecision was made to supjiress the investigation and public knowledge of the incident, and not to pro.secute the officers involved. This is a clear-cut ca.se of a gross violation of U.S. and Lebanese law a!id CIA regulations. which prohibit any CIA officer from participating in or condoning the u.se of torture and other physical interrogation techniques, and to protest and leave if a foreign government should attempt to or actually engage in such activity in the presence of U.S. officers. 'I hc Senate investigators and a senior ABC Prime 'Fiine producer, Ira Uo.scn, confirmeil the accuracy of the aliove account, which remains suppressed on .so called ’national securiiv ground.s". my i When asked what if anything the CIA has done to investigate aiul .stop any further incidents CIA officer Frank L... replied in the Spring of 1990 that new recruits were now being trained in how to handle hostile interrogations and prevent other exce.sses. The Firmer officers true names and whereabouts are unknown, but one used the nickname "Crunch", an apt selL de.scription of his personal penchant for violence. President Regan signed a Presidential Finding in 1981 outlawing the use of a.ssassination b the CIA. This incident was a clear violation of that Order, and pui.s the U.S. and CIA ^ the level of terrorist.s, while undermining the hard work and sacrifices that honest CIa* officers have made to fight this scourge and save lives. ^ fNCIDI^NX 3 Cl/i otjci U,S, CjOvci nntcitf /{(ivoncc H‘^< 7 / 7 j/'/}^ of the Isi'ocli honthtu^ of PI^O Headquarters in Tunis in 1985 In Febriifiry, 1985, the Government of Innisin advised the CIA it had ac(]uired iiifonnation from the PLO that Israel was planning an attack on PLO I lead(|uar(crs in ’Funis, and that the objective was to kill Yasir Arafat and other senior PLO officials. This information was pa.ssed to CIA Headquarters, which responded they had no knowledge of any such attack and needed additional information. The Tunisian Government could or would not provide additional information although they stressed the infonnalion was very reliable. When PLO Headquarters was later bombed by Israel in 1985, the Tunisian Government was very upset by the death of many Tunisians in the bombing and accused the CIA and the U S. Government of complicity in the attack. This was denied by the U.S. Government. INCIDENT 4 - CIA Gun Running to Iran goes back to 1981 Since at least 1981, a worldwide network of "free standing" (e.g. no diiecl U.S. Government ties) companies, including airlines, aviation and military spare parts suppliers, and trailing companies, has been utilized by the CIA and the U.S. Government to illegally ship arms and military spare parts to Iran and to the Contras, 'Fhese companies were set up with the approval and knowledge of senior CIA officials and other senior U.S. Giwernmeni officials and staffed primarily by ex-CIA, ex-FBI, and ex-military officers. The companies include Aero Systems, Inc. of Miami, FL; Arrow Air; Aero Systems Pvt. Ltd. of Singapore; Hierax of Hong Kong; Pan Aviation in Miami, FL; Mcrex in North Carolina; Sur International; St. Lucia Airways; Global International Airways; International Air Ttnirs of Nigeria; Continental Shelf Explorations, Inc., Jupiter, FL; Varicon, Inc.; Dane Aviation Supply, Miami, FL; and others, such as Parvus, Safir, International Trading and Investment Guaranty Corp. Ltd. and Information Security International Inc. Through the.se mechanisms, staffed by ex-intelligence and military officers, the Admitiistration and the CIA have been able to circumvent and ignore the legal intelligence mechanisrns, and Congressional oversight. C-130, F-4, TOWS, and 1 lawk missile parts were shipped to Iran in violation of the arms embargo and a variety of mechanisms were used including International Air Tours of Nigeria In August and September, 1985; Arrow Air in November, 1985, and Global International and Pan Aviation and others going back to !9Hl A U.S, Customs report dated 20 September 1985 reveals that .sethor officials lied to Congre.ss about the use of Sur International to ship arms to Iran in August and September 1985, when the carrier actually used was International Air Tours of Nigeria, a free standino CIA proprietary used from 1981 onwards. The aircraft used by Air Tours were B-707’s and may later have been transferred to the Air Lingus inventory to conceal the fact that they had been used for arms trafficking prior to 1985. negoiiated a contract between Aero Systems, Inc., a Miami- d ,ivs; ,'i? s, ."\ .V iipany.

Mr. Hemmings notes that his superiors further directed that CIA officers under cover not be identified or made available to the Iran-Contra - ' ...... ... . ... . CIA investigators, and that only requests for specific files and data would be an.swered. CIA officers were not to volunteer anything, which was contrary to CIA policy during Watergate, when every officer was asked to come forward voluntarily if he/she had any knowledge or when every involvement in the .scandal INCIDENT 5 - CIA Directed Foreif^n Kidnappiiif' Operations From September 1985 until 1987, Mr. I lemmings became aware that very senior White House and CIA officials including DC! William Ca.sey were directing "active mettsures against foreign terrorist groups, including assa.ssination and kidnapping. When lhe.se schemes were sent to the working level in Near East and South Asiti Division and the Counterterrorist Center of CIA, there was shock and dismay among some officers because they knew the policy was illegal and would invite terrorist rcpri.sals, and because they knew they would be liable for criminal pro.secution or other sanctions if they became involved in such an operation. One such operation was planned and then aborted in 1986 after some senior officials and the General Counsel objected to Casey’s directives, as transmitted through Dewey Clarridge, and after a friendly NATO ally withdrew from the operation tifter gauging the political risk too high. One target of such an operation was the 15 May Arab terrorist group. Mr. Hemmings has learned after his retirement that Special Operations Command ol the Office of International Security Affairs (ISA) in the Department of Defense, under General Vaught, in conjunction with DCl Casey established a special CIA-controlled commando unit within the Department of Defen.se that would allow CIA to mount such operations outside of close Congressional oversight. I'his unit, much like Delta Force, had CIA technical and intelligence support, and allegedly conducted operations in the Middle East, particularly Lebanon, in the 1980’s. If true, as it appears, this activity is clearly illegal and outside CIA’s charter. i INCIDENT 6 - Placement of CIA and U.S. Government Disinformation in the U.S. Media Mr. Hemmings notes two very blatant instances of the U.S. Government and CIA ‘ ated news stories to get full play in the U.S. media, a ii*xtA * i * t * * t .A encouraging or allowing CIA generated news stories to get full play in the U.S. media, a violation of law and an activity which denies tlie American people their right to a free press and the truth. I 'TTie incident occurred in 1981 when a Libyan Arab male "walked into" the I — Fmbassy in Rome and offered very sensational intelligence about plans by Libyan Muainmar Qadhafi to assassinate President Reagan and other high U.S. ollicials, an o hiow up key government buildings in Washington, D.C. t' * *' of 7‘he crux of this man’s allegations was the existence of a five-man Libyan hit team ^ terrorists who had been directed to infiltrate the U.S. via Mexico and carry out these ‘dtat . . The man’s bona fides were checked by CIA, as well as the information Because of the time sensitive nature of the threat he described and its gravity, C the White House, Secret Service, Immigration, Customs, and FBI, sharet a ^ information with over 50 foreign governments. The CIA disseminated stories worldwide on the alleged threats, and stories were leaked m < • to the U.S. media, explaining why extraordinary security precautions, protection, ^ ^ barricades were being erected in Washington at great exjiense. The • reaction helped convince the U.S. public and the world at large of Qadhafi s evi n Cooler heads at CIA, however, persevered in researching die source’s *''’T?rVwf'nnTthe believing that "it just didn’t sound plausible’’. In Rome, meanwhile, the CIA c el ‘ ofneer responsible for the case, slaked their professional reputations on t . reliability and the accuracy of his threat reporting. The source was by Cl A and passed each one. Finally, the Secret Service, exasperated by Cl As > ^ ^ locate the Libyan "hit team” or further identify any of the alleged terronsis invol , ' ' on conducting their own polygraph. The source showed "deception in . of actual Libyan intelligence officers. The man was coni routed by Ins officer and finally admitted his guilt, and his earlier allempt to fool CIA in I m in Lc hanon, which had caused a "burn notice" to be generated. CIA then offered its discreet apologies to the FBI, Secret Service and others, including foreign government, but the propaganda campmgn continued, with Hie U.S. Governmen concealing', the hoax and rewriting history, with Qadhafi as the villain. This was not a CIA ploy but a directive from the White I louse. Mr. I lemmings is no admirer of Qadhafi or of Libyan supported terrorism, but in this case, hysteria alnuisl resulted in war, based on allegations of one p.sychotic and venal Libyan fabricator. I he U.S. mihtaiy, during the mini crisis, had secret contingency plans for an attack on the Libyan Navy if any terrorist act occurred and special Naval units were positioned off the Libyan coast, ready to act. Oiiiy cool heads prevented a major incident. The American public was denied the truth after the fact and still believes today that Qadhafi had planned to kill Reagan. Why? Because the CIA and the U.S. Government used the world and U.S. media, often blatantly, to hit home the message about Qadhafi, who had long been an emhiirrassment to the world s greatest superpower. se ,..w - toncJ incident occurred in the some period, ngain in llnly. It concerned the assassination attempt against the Pope in Vatican Square. The Turkisli assassin, a psychotic, bad (circumstantial evidence showed) some contact with Bulgarian officials in Bulgaria and Italyt and research indicated some of these individuals had inieliicence connections, f loweveri there was no hard evidence that the KGB or the Bulgarian OS liad recruited, trained, planned, or otherwise supported the attempt in any way, Neveitliclcss, CIA and the U.S. media were strongly encouraged to tell the world that the "Evil Empire" and the KGB, were behind the plot . A great deal of pre-prepared propaganda was placed in the world press, and much of it, of course, was replayed in the U.S. media. Unfortunately, the CIA Chief of Station in Rtime, who knew the facts, apparently disagreed with the political slant of the propaganda, and gave a press conference in which he flatly stated there was no proof of KGB or DS complicity in the assassination attempt. This report was met with dismay and anger by the White I louse, which ordered his recall and Intervention by senior CIA officials prevented his firing on tlie spot but this officer’s career went down the tubes as a result of his objective analysis of the facts. The worldwide media campaign continued, and the American public probably still believes that the KGB or DS did it. The March 1990 surfacing of a KGB defector, Semydov, who stated he learned in Warsaw in 1980 that the KGB wanted to "get clo.se to the Pope appears to be a belated attempt to Justify the earlier charge of KGB complicity. Semydov s intellectual "Jump" from getting "clo.se to the Pope" to killing him seems farletched, especially after he and the CIA waited ten years to make the charge. Mr. 1 lemmings is very anti- Communist and does not doubt that the KGB and DS could have killed the Pope had they wanted to, probably in ways that no one could ever prove. The main point is that the Ultra- Right in the Reagan Administration saw this as an opportunity to heat up the propaganda and ideological cold war that was already raging in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, the Middle East, Iran, and Eastern Europe. The bigge.st problem, created by this incident is that it subjected the U.S. media and the public to a barrage of propaganda, covertly generated by CIA or other USG outlets, and then treated it as truth. t The point is: if we, in America, are to pre.serve (re-institute is a better w(Kd) freedom of the press, we must make every honest effort to i.solate covert propaganda from open free media coverage in the U.S., and to let Congress play a greater role in overseeing what propaganda themes are played, where, and to what extent they are based on truth and in our country’s be.si long term interest, and particularly to what extent they wcnikl taint the U.S. media if played abroad. In truth, American values and interest would be best served slaying as cUvse to truth as possible in all our dealings and media ellorts, and to avoid the hysterical polemics and the Rpeculntlve idfenltijijtJtil fnnntlislHm ihm htni no loimt-lihhtrntJrl».ed the U.S. view ttf tiie Sovleu, Communism, and the radical Third Wtirld.

One particular ca.se involved the arrest and probable execution of a srnirce after he was negligently turned over to the intelligence service of a so c.alled friendly NA'IX) countrj', which was also deeply implicated in illegal arms sales to Iran in the peiiod 198(1 1988. CIA senior officers, re.sponsible for the.se ca.ses, and the Senate Intellignue Committee, refuse to take the.se los.ses .seriously or to accept the thesis that these sonu es may have been compromi.scd to the Iranians by an Americtm source within CIA or the NATO service, or by former officers who have financial dealings with Iran.

INCIDENT 10 - The Death of DEA A^ent Hugo Spadofora Hugo Spadofora, a DEA agent in Central America, succe.ssfully arranged the arrest and eportation to the U.S. of a major narcotics dealer, who had links to the CIA-Contra network in Central America. Soon thereafter, he was transferred to Panama, and then killed and his body dismembered by Panamians close to General Noriega. The CIA and U.S. Government have done nothing to investigate and bring to Justice the individuals guilty of this crime. INCIDENT 11 - Perjury and Cover-up Senior CIA officials who were directly involved in or billy aware of illegal arms trafficking to Iran, going back to 1981 and at least to August, 1985, perjured Ihem.selves by testifying they knew nothing of the White House-Israeli operations until late November, 1985. There is ample evidence that these officers were billy aware, Irom a variety (,f sources, that the shipments, which they knew to be illegal, had begun much sooner, using free-sla’ndino air proprietaries.

A very experienced senior case officer / who had handled Iranian affairs from 1978 to circa 1983 in Headquarters (and was known in alias to the Irania met as "Captain Larry", met this official two or three times in a Washington hot in the Spring of 1986 (I believe), revealed he was C d the man to meet an Iranian expert from Headquarters and then set up a meeting in the man's hotel room. I attended this meeting in alias "Brian Duncan , joined in the man's recruitment, disc'Ciassed a meeting in two weeks in England, and also confronted the man about prior contacts wi SIS, which then admitted, but stating he did NOT want to work for them but for the Americans, He provided a means to contact him in ^yersa* With the support of Capt.

They would not conside » e 5 1 1 c a t e the ^ ^ ^ tr ^ ^ possibility that the source was compromised within CIA o BECAUSE HE COULD PROVIDE FULL DETAILS OF THE MH6 TRAFFICKING GOING ON. The fact the Agency lost an additional 6-7 agents in Iran during 1988-8® also did not seem to upset the SSCI or CIA officials I spoke with, altho this event signalled that CIA has a serious Cl problem in running i*^s Iranian operations, one that may tie directly to the Iran TOW for hostages deal. The current attitude is ; if Another case involving the British, ignore it, it win o ava Division and and SE Division occurred when a KGB officer defected to SIS the early 1980's.

Did this list come from the Soviet defector ? Probably - Still, inside CIA and NE, his bona fides were very suspect, and my reading of the skimpy file coifirmed this opinion, -n-t- + 4 + NE/Iran Ops Support analysts with over 30 uyears experience on Libyan, paftstmian, and Iranian matters brought this to my attention. I reported thisd to the the SSCI but they shoved no interest in the CI/CE ramifications of this ki of thing, when taken in conjunction with other Iranian operations gone bad vhen6V0r t-hc SIS b©cawG involv©d. 4t5. In late September f I was given responsibility for handling a ••^sensitive FBI case- This case was brought to my and the Branch's attention / ^ juy vho was asiigned to FR/Washington and In regular liaise ith the FBI Washington Field Office, and nterna tional Terrorism/Tran a A meeting was arranged at CIA Headquarters in the PCS/LCG conference room FBI, was attended by Hart, Boone, and Dale from the DC/NE/Iran from FR/Washlngton, and John i . We dl d the difficulty of cominunicat i Letters to Harvev Uav^son to I vith their source, whose access and position (aide a very seniot Iranian ofricial) could not yet be verified* The source had been by FBI in Norfolk/ Va* and run for several years before his return Before he returned to Iran, FBI asked CIA (NE/Iran) in 1984 if CIA vant to take over the case/ but this was rejected because the source had apparent access. When he later communicated to FBI via international phones lines (very insecure) that he had obtained an important position FBI and then CIA took an interest. The objective vas to get him out of Iram debriefed/ polygraphed, trained, and sent back- C/NE/Iran was quit interested initially*At the meeting of FBI and CIA, it wagreed that the primary objective would be to signal the source once more when he could exit Iran and where/ so we could meet him jointly. There was litt emphasis placed on FI collection since his access was not yet establish and his boia fides. Within a few eeks , Boone called from FBI Washin of f i c In reconstruct! 1 s later with SSCI, it seems probable October 19 . As I recalled accurately, Boone made no mention in his cable, except in an oblique way, to the arms delivery. The probable reason follows ; w sked^ me if this wa no but I would check. I asked two female reports officers, Ken Action referent, and tried to ask the C/NE/Iran t the Covert or his deputy. Neither t there. The call occurred about 1100 AM. Since my arrival on the B 4 4 1m f 4 0 had noticed the Chief was seldom there, or often behind closed doors f I r tc I- to /i^irvev l/avson I thought this unusual, and asked him if there was some special projec / but ho nalrt no, not to worry. Much later, I realized he had been directly involved in the Iran-Contra affair, along with George Cave, assigned to c Officr- on an annuitant, and had been aware in September and October of th August arid 13 September 1985 Israeli .flights to Tehran and Tabriz. He never told me then or later, when he began seeing the intelligence coming from the FBI source, which accuratelky reported the September, November and February flights and the McFarland/Tyche/North/Cave visit to Tehran : May 1986, even complete with their hotel (the Hilton) and aliases. We traced the four aliases wiSthout success^ our supervisor never telling us vho the four were. A record of the traces exists in NE/Iran. ^ i 0 I specifically remember the alias used by McFarland, McQueen, but did not realize the significance until I saw the aliases printed in the Washington Post two years later. When Boone called on or about 25 October 1985, 1 also asked Karen, the Chief's personal secretary, who knew and read everything the Chief di When I asked her about the flight, saying the FBI was waiting on the line on whether to disseminate it to the community, she replied : Tell them no to disseminate it and that it's not a CIA operation. It's a Whit House operation". I repeats something In any case, he did disseiminate the report for valid reasons that it was the source's first report, acces unconf 1 rmed . was unconfirmed, and the info was highly sensat lonal and ars later .

It occurred during an interrogation of several suspects/ and another CIA officer was present. The Lebanese Government complained and wanted the man prosecuted but CIA convinced the Lebanese to send t man back to the US for punishment. The man was never prosecuted, perha for political reasons and perhaps for lack of witnesses from Lebanon. He was fired and his whereabouts are unknown to me. This man came to T Tunisia in 1984/ I believe, to assist the CIA Station there in defensive driving training for the National Guard. During his brief st of two weeks, he drank heavily, picked a fight with the Embassy Agricu ural attache at the Marine House, womanized, alienated his students, a showed iip drunk at my house at 1030 PM with a woman, who ppoceeded to throw up on herself. His colleague, a first tour officer, unfortunatel was dragged along, but ^ted with professionalism. I brought this to t attention of my COS and Washington j verbally to his supervisor, but Headquarters nonetheless sent him to Lebanon. He was an ex-California police officer, about 30, thrice married within 7 years, very aggressi and physically threatening, claiming he would kill any terrorist, anyc in his way. He finally did. How he passed the Psy Tests at EOD is beyc me. That he was sent unsupervised to LebanoJrh to engage in an inter roc is sheer incomptence by CIA. CIA Staff officers should not get direct! involved in any kind of physical interrogation/torture, etc. that some of our allies practice as routine. We should walk away and protest. I Letters to /larvov l/avson From both a human rights and practical standpoint# ve should not condome or partlcipato in such activities. This case was sent KHl to the Attorney General for investigation and prosecution but to my knowledge has been hushed up at the highest levels. Has CIA issued new regulations on this type of involvement to its employees ? 10. Kidnapping and counterror 1 sm : Matt Gannon, deceased Case Officer killed in Pan Am 103 was a good friend and colleague, and an active participant in many counterterrorist operations run by the CIA Counterterrorist Center (CTC) in the mid 1980*s. He and I discussed some of the schemes the "activists" were hatching in 1985-86-87 to stop terrorism. One such scheme involved kidnapping or killing Mohamme Rachid and his Austrian wife, Helen (?) Pinter from Tunis, and transporting them "black" to the U.S. This operation would have violated the soverignty of Tunisia, an ally, undermined our liaison relationship with the Tunisian Security Services and Government, and incited reprisals from extremist Palestinian groups. The idea came fro DCI Casey, and the plan was put together by Dewey Claridge, It was cancelled when cooler heads realized It was illegal, CIA risked exposi Americans in Tunisia and the "Hit Team" to death or capture, etc. so the French Service was asked to do the job. They agreed initially but later backed out when they determined CIA could not keep a secret. In case, I am glad that is true. It was a foolish plan. 11. It is my belief that DCI Casey by 1985 distrusted the CIA bureaucracy, and handpicked those who would carry out non-CIA non US operations. I have heard from a source that Gen, Voigt and Casey colloaborated to establish a Special Counterterrorist Unit in Dept of Defense under deep cover called ISA and/or ISSBA, and that this was staffed by ex-Seals and Special Forces personnel trained to kin •cidnap, or neutralize terrorists or others, eip. in the Middle East I am not aware of any Staff CIA unit set up for this purpose, although unit X 4 .

In 1979-80, I was assigned to Calcutta, India In New Delln > my COS briefed my spouse and I on Calcutta, warning us "there are some shennanigans going on donw there. Don't get involved". The shennanigans he obliquely referred to consisted of i A. My new boss's wife sleeping with my predeceessor . B. My new boss sleeping with his female Turkish agent AND Russian wife of a Bulgarian official he was developing a relationsn p C. The involvement of my new boss and his wife in wife— swapping and other escapades, that came to involve my ex-spouse. D. fabircation of intelligence reporting by the boss.

ONE cable was written on the Indian. No intelligence was ever collected, and the US taxpayer footed the bill for all the gifts and entertainment. This was reported to the IG and investigated by the man's successor. The offending officer was reimanded and assigt to duties in Headquarters thereafter. 25.

He expects banking by flonday* lie says that Iran called him last night and wa meet with me regarding the transaction but does not Tran v/hen. He also said that based upon our conversations, would like a quote on several equipment parts: 1. Gun barrel for 175 from Howpizer Co, 2, Mortar snells tor 81mm and 121mm, 3, Telescope or camera for F4: Model RF4K17240E, 4. Radar lamp WS 12, Ghaffari says he has prices to compare to any I offer him* also says that if I can acquire these parts. Iron is send a delegation to meet with me, probably in discuss acquiring additional equipment. Vienna , He to to These are the highlights, I have attached telefax copies of the telexes received in Germany from Iran and photocopies of the telexes I have sent, i look forward to discussing this with you further. Until you and I talk about what steps should be taken, I will go no further than trying to push one of the first four deals towards reality, i,e, telex confirmation of an agreement to purchase and proof of funds. There will not be any meetings without your consent. The fact that Ghaffari has comparable prices on most of this equipment means one of two things to me: Either he has gotten them from Iran or he is getting them from someone else in the States, In either case, there are certainly others out there shopping for equipment.
